Young mechanic died by drowning, blunt trauma
The Blankenburg, West Coast Demerara mechanic who was found dead in a hotel pool, died of drowning compounded by blunt trauma, a post mortem examination found yesterday.
Sadeek Juman was discovered dead in the swimming pool of the popular Double Day hotel at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo on Monday afternoon. He would have been celebrating his 21st birthday today, but will be buried instead.

Blunt trauma suggests that the young man hit his head in the pool or that he was physically attacked. However, if he was physically attacked that would have been referred to as “blunt force trauma” which was not the conclusion of the post mortem, according to a pathologist.
Juman was discovered in the pool by hotel workers around 16:00 hrs Monday, manager Rabindra Bhola told Kaieteur News. The discovery was made about 24 hours after Juman was seen entering the facility.
Relatives had suggested that the young man never did go to the hotel, but others recalled seeing him disembarking the bus at the hotel.
He had left home to go see his grandmother at Ruby, East Bank Essequibo on Sunday.
Police investigations are continuing.
