Terrence Alstrom, the pensioner who was discovered dead in his Kuru Kururu, Linden-Soesdyke Highway yard just over a week ago, died as a result of blunt trauma to his head, according to an autopsy.
Commander of Regional Division 4B Kurleigh Simon yesterday confirmed the findings of the autopsy.
Stabroek News understands that the autopsy revealed that Alstrom was allegedly struck in the head with an object. According to Simon, up to yesterday no arrest had been made by the police while the investigation into the matter was still ongoing. “We are still doing some work,” he said.
The lifeless body of Alstrom, 66, of Track B, Kuru Kururu, Linden-Soesdyke Highway, was found around 10.30 pm last Friday.
Alstrom lived alone at his farm house, which is situated about two miles from the Kuru Kururu backdam. As a result, his children would check on him at regular intervals.
Alstrom’s son, Jason Alstrom, who had been visiting in-laws nearby, went to check on his father when he stumbled upon his body as he entered the yard.
Prior to the discovery, the police had said that the children last received a text message from the dead man last Thursday morning. Alstrom’s house was not ransacked but his cell phone and a bag, which he usually carried around, were not found.
