Soldier died from lung failure, heart blockage
A post mortem examination performed on the remains of Eon Blair, the soldier who collapsed during a fitness run and subsequently died, has confirmed that the man died from lung failure and heart blockage.
Dead: Eon Blair
The cause of death was revealed on Monday by Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh.
The father of two collapsed on Friday in the vicinity of Umana Yana, High Street, during an annual fitness run. He was taken to the Guyana Defence Force’s medical centre in Camp Ayanganna before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he was pronounced dead.
Yesterday, Blair’s uncle, Eward Reynolds, said that his nephew never experienced any medical problems pertaining to his lungs and heart. He claimed that Blair had a history of high blood pressure and “nothing else that I know of.”
Lance Corporal Eon Blair served the Guyana Defence Force for the past nine years.
