Following the sudden death of its owner, Lakeram ‘Mike’ Singh, Mike’s Pharmacy on the East Coast of Demerara was yesterday closed to business until further notice.
Stabroek News visited the pharmacy where a notice was seen pinned on the gate stating that it was closed for business until further notice. Staff were seen inside grieving and comforting each other.
Singh passed away in Florida on Thursday while playing cricket.
In a statement on Thursday night, the Georgetown Softball Cricket League Inc. (GSCL) said that Singh was leading his side in their second preliminary round match of the Florida Cup 2022 when he collapsed on the field after bowling his spell.
He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where he later died.
