A 65-year-old amputee perished in a burning building yesterday becoming the first fire casualty for the new year.
The charred remains of Dennis Marks who lived alone were recovered from the rubble of his single-flat wooden house situated at Lot 12 Cummings Street, North Buxton, East Coast Demerara. This was after efforts by neighbours to rescue him from the inferno failed.
Kaieteur News understands that around 18:00 hours, neighbours saw smoke coming from Marks’ house, but by the time villagers responded to the alarm raised, it was too late.
No one could say what caused the fire, but there is speculation that it could have been a suicidal act.
Fire tenders from GuySuCo and Mahaica responded, but only to douse the embers so that Marks’ remains could have been recovered. Investigations are continuing.
