‘He showed signs of improvement’ – relatives

Thirty-three-year-old Elon Isaacs, who was in a coma for two weeks at the Georgetown Public Hospital, following an accident on the Supply Public Road, succumbed on Monday evening.
According to Isaacs’ sister, Candacy Isaacs, around 21:00 hours on Monday she received a call from the hospital notifying her that her brother had died from injuries he suffered.
The tearful sister said that when she and other family members arrived at the hospital, Isaacs was still on his bed unwrapped in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The woman also noted that during his recovery period Isaacs was responding well to doctors as a number of tests were done. Isaacs said that although he made tiny gestures he never regained full consciousness.
“He was young and full of life. We honestly thought he would have pulled through this but we don’t know the time… no man does”, the woman lamented.
On July 14 Isaacs would have celebrated his 34th birthday.
The sister said that her brother now leaves to mourn three girls, one of whom resides in Canada and is expected to arrive today for her father’s funeral on Monday, one day after Father’s Day.
“The two small girls aged three and two don’t really understand death so they might not remember when they get older”, Isaacs said.
She added the eldest daughter asked her mother, “Mommy is this the last time we coming back to Guyana for vacation?”
Based on reports she received, Isaacs apparently borrowed the ATV from a friend in Georgetown and was coming home at the time of the accident.
He was not licenced to drive the vehicle nor was he wearing a helmet. She believed that if her brother was wearing a helmet he would have had a better chance at surviving the accident.
Meanwhile, a post mortem report which was done by Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh on Monday revealed that the minibus driver died from a fractured skull, broken spine and hemorrhaging in the brain.
