Office of the President employee, Albert Henry, whose partially decomposed body was discovered in his Diamond, East Bank Demerara home on Tuesday afternoon, died of a heart attack.
According to a police press release, a post-mortem examination (PME) performed on the man yesterday by pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh determined the cause of death to be a heart attack. The release further stated that the man’s licensed .32 firearm and ammunition were recovered from his home.
One of Henry’s relatives told this newspaper that although the PME results have determined that the man died of natural causes the family is allowing the police to continue with their investigations.
Relatives, however, declined to comment further on the matter stating that they would be better able to speak after the police have had some time to continue their investigations.
The partly decomposed body of the 54-year-old man, a police press release had said, was discovered at about 3.45 pm after residents in the area were alerted to a smell emanating from the man’s home.
Prior to this discovery, Henry was missing from work and his relatives have reported that his car was found at a different location last Thursday. Henry had been involved in several elections and had participated in training up to the 2006 polls.
