Mahadeo Ramdial, 43, the boat captain who was thrown into the Corentyne River after reportedly being broadsided to the head with a cutlass during a pirate attack last Tuesday, died from drowning, an autopsy has found.
Commander of ‘B’ Division Ian Amsterdam confirmed the findings of the examination to Stabroek News and noted that there was no visible wound on Ramdial’s head.
Amsterdam further related that investigators are still questioning the two survivors to ascertain what exactly happened out at sea last Tuesday evening.
