Elderly man burnt to death in house fire
Kaieteur News – An elderly man was burnt on Friday to death in his Herstelling Sea Dam home.
The dead man was identified as 58-year-old Sundar Nandkishore. Reports are that the elderly man lived alone.
His daughter who lives nearby told police that Nandkishore was a diabetic and was bedridden. The woman disclosed that her father was a heavy smoker.
She recalled that while sitting on her veranda, she saw smoke coming from his house. As a result, she and her brother rushed over to their father’s home only to find him on a burning bed.
An alarm was raised and neighbours formed a bucket brigade and extinguished the fire. They called an ambulance and the emergency response team onboard pronounced him dead at the scene.
Investigations are ongoing.
