Narrain apparently suffered a heart attack while sitting in the pavilion after his dismissal. BCB President, Hilbert Foster and Public Relations Officer Simon Naidu visited Narrain’s wife and family.
The BCB delegation offered words of comfort and also handed over a quantity of items to assist the family.
