Sean Prince, the man whose burnt body was found among debris after his Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara home went up in flames on Thursday, died from smoke inhalation, a Post Mortem examination has revealed.
According to information, Government Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh did not find anything on the remains to suggest foul play. However, a cousin of the deceased remains in police custody and is assisting with the investigation.
Firefighters around 01:30 hrs on Thursday, stumbled upon the body of the Lot 67 Sideline Dam, Golden Grove resident just minutes after they were called to his home to investigate a fire that had broken out in one of the bedrooms.
Prince had been managing his father’s shipping company—Prince’s Shipping—located in Muneshwers Building on Main Street, Georgetown. His cousin who lives in the bottom flat of the two-storey property was immediately taken into custody.
Kaieteur News was informed that residents claimed that they heard what sounded like gunshots in the village just before they noticed Prince’s home was engulfed in fire. A detective confirmed that they had received this information.
Prince was last seen imbibing with persons in the village and watching cricket late Wednesday night at a shop in Golden Grove. After the game, he reportedly left in the company of a woman, who is said to be a stranger to villagers.
It was the cousin, who has been detained, that raised an alarm. He managed to save some of his belongings.
