Commander for Regional Division 4 ‘A’, Assistant Commissioner Simon McBean, says that ranks are investigating the ‘unnatural death’ of Umar Ally, a 49-year-old of Lot 221 ‘B’ Field Pattensen, Greater Georgetown which occurred in Room 104 of the Quamina Guest House located at Lot 126 Quamina Street, Georgetown
The death occurred between 14:05 hours and 14:15 hours.
According to the police report, at about 14:00 hours last Friday, Ally checked in to the hotel with someone dressed like a female but who was suspected to be a male. They booked a room and were given room 104 by the hotel receptionist.
According to the receptionist, at about 14:15 hours on April 28, the identifiable person rushed out of the room and told her that Ally had fallen and hit his head on the tile near to the toilet area.
As such, she accompanied the identifiable person to the room, where she checked the toilet area and saw the deceased lying on the floor with blood oozing behind his head. The body was naked. She then told the identifiable person to wait until they called an ambulance. She left the person in the room and returned to the reception area. She contacted her supervisor, who then contacted the Guyana Fire Service ambulance, which arrived shortly after and the body was examined. The identifiable person however escaped by jumping out of the southeastern bedroom window within public view.
Ally was pronounced dead by a doctor of the Georgetown Public Hospital. Several persons were questioned, and CCTV cameras were seen and footage extracted. The body was taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Parlour for storage, awaiting a post-mortem examination. Checks were made for the person who fled the guest house without luck. Further investigations are ongoing.
