Rameshwar Persaud and his wife in happier times
A 56-year old tractor operator perished when his vehicle turned over and pinned him in the rice field he was ploughing yesterday.
Rameshwar Persaud, of Wash Clothes, Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara was pronounced dead at the Mahaicony Hospital minutes after he was pulled from under the overturned tractor.
Kaieteur News was told that Persaud left home yesterday for work in a rice field in his village about 07:00 hours. Four hours later the tragedy occurred.
Colleagues who were working not too far away saw when the tractor turned over and rushed to his assistance.
However it took them a while to free him from under the vehicle and by then Persaud appeared dead.
The police were called in and Persaud’s body was taken to the nearby Mahaicony Hospital and then to the Lyken Funeral Home where it awaits a post mortem examination.
