Decomposed body of missing Fyrish man discovered in open field
Kaieteur News – The decomposing body of a 51-year-old Fyrish Village, Corentyne man was discovered in an open field within the community on Saturday afternoon, six days after he was reported missing by relatives.
Dead is Raymond Hack, who was last seen on Easter Monday, according to his family.
The discovery was made by a man who was tending cattle in the area, relatives confirmed.
Hack’s nephew told this publication that the family had reported him missing to the Albion Police Station after growing concerned when he failed to return home last week. Several searches were subsequently carried out throughout the community but proved unsuccessful.
“For the past few days, we were looking for him. We didn’t see him since Easter Monday… we kept looking and we found him Saturday afternoon,” the nephew said.
He explained that Hack lived alone but would regularly visit relatives to collect meals prepared for him. On the day he was last seen, he failed to show up as usual, although the family initially did not suspect anything was wrong.
“Tuesday, I went by his house with a box of food, and I didn’t see him, so I hang up the food in the house and left,” he recalled.
When repeated attempts to locate him failed, relatives expanded their search to hospitals and other areas he was known to frequent, but without success.
The nephew said Hack was known to consume alcohol heavily and would often walk long distances. He speculated that the man may have suffered a fall while intoxicated and was unable to get help.
Hack, a former painter, was unemployed at the time of his death. He was also the father of one son, who works as a mechanic.
“He was a kind and loving person in society. He didn’t make any problem. All he used to do is drink a lot,” the relative said.
Police are expected to conduct further investigations, while the body awaits a post-mortem examination.
