Resort employee drowns in E’bo River
Divers fished out the body of 19-year-old Ryan Harris from the Essequibo River late yesterday afternoon.
Harris, an employee of the Baganara resort for the past two and a half months, reportedly drowned after he strayed away from other staff of the tourist facility shortly after 17:00 hours.
Investigators are baffled, especially since Harris was said to be a very strong swimmer.
Reports are that the staff was playing on the beach near the resort when Harris wandered away from them and entered the river. When he did not surface after awhile, an alarm was raised and a search was launched in the river.
Two hours later Harris’s body was pulled up and subsequently taken to the Bartica Hospital where he was officially pronounced dead.
