A construction worker yesterday morning perished in a fire of unknown origin at Enterprise, East Coast Demerara which destroyed the home he and his brother shared.
The deceased, Suresh Goolchand known as ‘Sauce’, 54, of Lot 156 Market Street, Enterprise was unable to escape from the house that was secured by grillwork. As he cried out for help, the raging fire that quickly spread and consumed the building, prevented public-spirited neighbours who first responded to the scene, from offering any assistance. His brother, Shwavash Goolchand was able to escape.
Neighbours pointed out that while the entire property was secured by grillwork, the section in which Suresh resided had additional grill.
