Keegan Boston, the Cummings Electrical Company security guard who was discovered dead in the company’s guard hut at Campbellville on Sunday morning, died as a result of blunt trauma to the head consistent with a fall, an autopsy confirmed.
Public Relations Officer of the Guyana Police Force, Jairam Ramlakhan, confirmed the findings of the autopsy, which was conducted yesterday morning by Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh.
Stabroek News had previously reported that 60-year-old Boston, of Lot 520 East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, Georgetown was found with a wound to the back of his head, in the guard hut which is situated in front of the company’s Lot 83 Garnett Street, Campbellville premises, where he had been on the night shift.
The incident is suspected to have occurred sometime between 11 pm Saturday and 6:15 am on Sunday.
This newspaper was told that the discovery was made by two employees, David Cummings— a fellow security guard— and an electrician whose name was given as Lewis.
The men, who were both reporting for duty on Sunday morning, sensed something was amiss when they called on Boston to unlock the gate and got no answer.
“Well there was no answer, the place was secure. It was locked from inside and after we ain’t get no answer, the electrician (Lewis), he jump over the gate and we see him (Boston) lying down flat in the guard hut,” Cummings had said.
The business is monitored by security cameras, however, Stabroek News was told that officials only learnt that the cameras were not working when they were about to review the footage to determine what exactly led to Boston’s demise.
Boston had been employed with the company for several months.
