A Westminster youth is now dead after he was crushed when a lift fell on him on Thursday afternoon.
The Guyana Police Force yesterday reported that Sudesh Charran, a 22-year-old labourer of Lot 3964 Westminster, West Bank Demerara, was walking under the metal lift to go into the F & R Supermarket when it fell from the upper flat and pinned him.
As a result, the police said, workers rushed to his assistance and used a piece of wood and a jack to raise the lift. They then managed to pull the motionless Charran from under it. A large wound was seen at the top of his head.
His body was taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor on duty.
