Woman, 21, found dead in Port Kaituma shop
Police are trying to ascertain the cause of death of a 21-year-old woman, whose body was found last Wednesday in a Port Kaituma backdam shop in which she worked.
Reports indicate that the employee, Dianne Sam, of Citrus Grove, Port Kaituma, was found dead in a bedroom several hours after she had consumed a combination of alcoholic beverages. A woman who owns the shop said that foul play was not suspected and that her employee had been suffering from gallstones and was scheduled for surgery.
According to reports, Dianne Sam and three other workers were at the shop at around 10.00 hrs on Wednesday, when Sam poured a combination of Guinness, Red Bull, Vodka and Magnum energy drink into a bowl and drank the contents.
Kaieteur News understands that shortly after, Sam complained of feeling unwell and went into her room.
At around noon, one of the female workers went to the room to call Sam for lunch, and found her lying motionless on her bed. The worker then contacted her employer and the police were also informed.
The body was brought out to the Port Kaituma Hospital while police await a post mortem.
