Security chief falls to death from Good Hope building
(Kaieteur News) – A routine inspection turned tragic on Sunday when 48-year-old, Chief Security Officer of Sheriff Security, fell to his death while checking a damaged roof at the INFAB building, Good Hope, East Coast Demerara.
In a press statement police said detectives in Regional Division 4’C’ are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Browne of Apiqua Lane, Guyhoc Park, Georgetown
Kevin Browne, Chief Security Officer of Sheriff Security
Preliminary investigations revealed that 48-year-old Browne, who was the Chief Security Officer of Sheriff Security, on the morning of the said day, transported workers to the INFAB building situated on the southern side of the Good Hope Public Road. According to a 52-year-old friend of the deceased, about noon on the said day, workers noticed that sections of the ceiling of the building (INFAB) sustained water damage from the roof. Browne, police said reportedly went onto the roof to inspect the area, during which he stepped onto a section of the roof that broke, causing him to fall several feet onto the concrete surface below. The workers rendered immediate assistance, and transported 48-year-old Browne to the Enmore Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The 52-year-old friend of the deceased later visited the police station and made a report. The body was taken to the Sandy’s Funeral Parlour awaiting a post-mortem examination. Investigations are ongoing.
Meanwhile, in a statement InFab expressed deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Browne. “We are deeply saddened by this unfortunate incident and extend our heartfelt sympathies to all affected.” The company clarified that they had contracted Royal Global Guyana Inc., located at 230 Section B Pattenson, Turkeyen, Georgetown, to construct a worker living area at the rear of our Good Hope premises. “The work being carried out at the time of the incident was under the full supervision and responsibility of Royal Global Guyana Inc. The individual involved was not an employee of InFab, and his presence on the roof was unknown to InFab personnel. Royal Global Guyana Inc. has acknowledged contractual responsibility for the ongoing project and is cooperating fully with the relevant authorities in addressing this matter,” InFab said. “InFab remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and transparency in all our operations and will continue to support the ongoing investigation in any way required. Our thoughts remain with Mr. Browne’s family during this very difficult time.”
