Kaieteur News- A 70-year-old pensioner was found dead on Thursday at Ross Sea Dam, West Coast Berbice (WCB).

The deceased has been identified as Arnold Seetaram, a resident of Ross Village, WCB, who had been missing since March 31, 2025.

According to police, Seetaram lived with his grandson, Ameer Ali. He explained that his grandfather suffered from memory loss and had frequently wandered off to unknown locations, but would usually return home. On the day Seetaram went missing, Ali left the house, leaving his grandfather in his hammock. Upon his return, Seetaram was not at home.

Three days later, Seetaram was found motionless on the Ross Sea Dam. “Ameer Ali was informed by a person named ‘Tuffy’ that a motionless body had been spotted on the Ross Sea Dam. Upon checking, Ameer identified the deceased as his grandfather, Arnold Seetaram,” police said.

Seetaram was found lying face-up, dressed in a blue T-shirt, black pants, and black slippers. An initial examination of the body revealed no signs of foul play. The body was photographed and transported to the Fort Wellington Hospital, where he was officially pronounced dead.

The body is currently at the Bailey/Michael Funeral Parlour for storage, pending a post-mortem examination. Investigations are ongoing.
