“Don King” found hanging after mother evicts him

May 23, 2013 News

 

 

A man who loved being called “Don King” in and around his village and who seemed to make the most of it as he got things easily, did not take it lightly after being evicted from the home he shared with his mother, stepfather, wife and four children.
For him the embarrassment was too much so he decided to take his own life. Moheshwar Persaud, called “Don King”, 30, a joiner of 53 Section D Health Centre Street, Cumberland, went home under the influence of liquor and got into an argument with his mother. The argument became more heated and the man was thrown out of the house in the wee hours of the morning, to cool off.
Being embarrassed that the big “Don King” could be so belittled the man disappeared into the night and was not seen again. His relatives became worried after he did not return.
It was during the morning hours that they noticed him hanging from a cord attached to a small tree in the backyard.
An alarm was raised and the police were informed and quickly descended on the scene. Persaud was cut down and taken to the New Amsterdam hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
A Post Mortem is to be performed on the body shortly.
