A female security guard took over duties around 06:00hrs and while making her checks around the building noticed that Singh was lying on his bed motionless. At that point she thought he was only sleeping but when it was time for her to be relieved around 18:30hrs, she noticed that he was still lying in the same position.
The woman informed her co-workers who came to relieve her that Singh had been in the same position all day. They decided to call the Kitty Police Station.
When ranks arrived, they called an ambulance from the Guyana Fire Service and the Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) on board pronounced Singh dead at the scene.
