Found: Heron Anthony Sears

The lifeless body of Heron Anthony Sears, a 40-year-old RUSAL worker, was yesterday morning located at a sluice, a village away from where he disappeared. This was confirmed by his wife Alicia Sears.
According to the woman, her husband’s relatives and villagers identified the body sometime around 6:00 am yesterday. Alicia said that her husband on Tuesday requested crabs to eat before he headed out to work so they decided to go crab hunting.
Alicia said that they left home around 9:00 am on Tuesday and ventured out. “We went down the waterside and walk down Lovely Lass and catch the crab. He take off his wedding ring and gave it to me because he said the mud will slide it off. While we were coming, there was a man at the pump station, he told us that crab deh Chester area.

“My husband said we will go and he went down to wash off his foot before we go to Chester area”. The woman said she asked him if he was ok and she told him to be careful while he was washing off. Shortly after, she saw him slide and fell over into the rushing waters.
Alicia, who watched on helplessly and shouted for Anthony, said that her husband pointed his fingers in the direction of the beach where she assumed that he was telling her that the waters will lead him there. At that point, she rushed to the sluice’s attendant, a short distance away and sought his assistance. Upon her return, she saw no trace of her husband.
A post mortem examination is expected to be conducted on the body shortly.
