Thirty-year-old Devendra Singh of Number 65 Village, Corentyne, East Berbice, who was an inmate at the New Amsterdam Prison, died as a result of an enlarged liver, failed kidneys, and diabetes, according to a post-mortem report.
Singh, who was serving a 16-month sentence for assault, died at the New Amsterdam Hospital on Wednesday after spending several days in critical condition.
Four days later, information regarding his death remains sketchy, as the Guyana Prison Service has been silent on the matter, even with a request from the media for answers.
