Suraj Dhaneshwar

A body suspected to be that of Rosignol fisherman, Suraj Dhaneshwar, who reportedly fell overboard last month, washed up on the Dantzig, Mahaicony foreshore on Monday.

On March 15, there was a boat mishap as Dhaneshwar and the captain of the boat, Oneil Deputron, were returning with their catch to the Three-Door Fishermen’s Co-op, located at D’ Edward Village, West Coast Berbice, directly next to the Berbice River Bridge.

Dhaneshwar, also known as ‘Sonny’, 28, of Lot 49 Railway Line, Rosignol, West Coast Berbice, had left home the day prior to head out to sea to fish with his captain on the 36-ft wooden boat, which was equipped with a 40-hp engine.
