Police are investigating the death of a miner who fell ill on Monday suffering from vomiting and diarrhea at Hymacururu Backdam, North-West District.
The man has been identified as Roy Conyers, 46, of Canal Bank, Port Kaituma. The miner died yesterday after he was taken to the Port Kaituma District Hospital. However, the hospital did not conduct a COVID-19 test on the body.

Conyers’ body was examined by the police for marks of violence, but none was seen. His body was taken to the Port Kaituma District Hospital Mortuary for storage, awaiting a post mortem examination. The matter was reported and an investigation was launched.
