Miner drowns at Rock Creek Backdam
Kaieteur News – A man identified only by his alias ‘Tommy Lee’ reportedly drowned on Wednesday morning at Rock Creek Backdam, Mazaruni River, Region Seven.
Reports are that the man drowned around 08:00hrs.
‘Tommy Lee’ had reportedly left Rock Creek Backdam intoxicated and went to a place called “Vanessa’s Mining Camp”.
From there, he went to an old mining pit some 20 feet away with a friend to take a swim. He was left swimming alone while his friend went back to ‘Vanessa’s camp’.

‘Tommy Lee’s’ legal name, address and age are unknown.
Investigations are ongoing.
