A post-mortem examination yesterday confirmed that 15-year-old Trevon Atkins, the boy whose body was pulled from the Linden ‘blue lake’ on Sunday, died as a result of drowning.
Atkins, who resided at Prosville, Wismar, Linden and was a student of the Wisburg Secondary School, left home with his 17-year-old sister and other relatives to visit the lake sometime around 4.30 pm last Saturday.
A guardian of the deceased, who gave her name as Andrea Lacon, told Stabroek News that neither of the siblings knew how to swim.
