‘Cuffy’s Square’ deceased died by drowning

Mar 05, 2015 News

A post mortem examination done on 54-year-old Sarju Gopaul yesterday revealed that he died of asphyxiation due to drowning.  The autopsy was done by Government Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh.
Gopaul’s body was found submerged in a canal in the vicinity of Square of the Revolution on Monday afternoon. Strewn on the ground were three photographs and a messenger bag, all believed to have been his. Also present was an empty vodka bottle, a cell phone case and a bunch of keys.
Gopaul, who is an alcoholic and has had seizures in the past following his drinking sprees, was identified by his son-in-law Arafat Ally on Tuesday.
According to Ally, Gopaul, a father of three, was employed as a night security guard at a Vlissengen Road business location. He said that his father-in-law would normally walk past the Square of the Revolution and through cemetery road to get to his home, located in West Ruimveldt.
According to Ally, the last time he had seen Gopaul was at his workplace on Sunday night. He had appeared perfectly normal. There are speculations that he had stopped for a smoke when he had one of his seizures and fell into the canal.
