A Coast Guard rank stationed at the Floating Base in the Pomeroon River is missing and presumed drowned, the Guyana Defence Force said today.
Ordinary Rating Darwin Simon and two other ranks had just finished mooring their boat alongside the Floating Base at midnight on Sunday when it is reported he fell into the river. Efforts by the ranks to save him were unsuccessful, the GDF said.
Searches are currently in progress to recover the body and a Board of Inquiry has been established.
