A post-mortem examination conducted on the body of Junior Clifton Thompson, who was found motionless in a house at Buxton Sideline Dam, East Coast Demerara, revealed that he died as a result of blunt trauma to the head, possibly resulting from a fall.
According to the police, Government Pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh conducted a post-mortem examination with dissection on the body of Junior Clifton Thompson at the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Mortuary on January 5. Afterwards, Dr Singh gave the cause of death as ‘subdural haemorrhage as a result of blunt trauma to the head’, resulting from a possible fall.
The police said Thompson’s body was discovered motionless at about 23:00 hrs on January 3rd, 2024, after an unknown caller called the Vigilance Police Station and reported that a man was lying motionless at a house at Buxton Sideline Dam, East Coast Demerara.
As a result, police ranks visited the scene where they saw a man lying motionless on the lower flat ‘verandah’ of the two-storey concrete building.
The body was examined and a small laceration with what appeared to be blood and swelling was seen to the back of his head. A further examination revealed what appeared to be a condom on his penis.
Thompson, a 47-year-old contractor from Grove, East Bank Demerara, was said to have had keys to the premises.
Several people were questioned and a 33-year-old man of Buxton Sideline Dam stated that at about 22:45 hrs that night, he was walking home when he saw Thompson in the yard with a woman and a child. The resident said that Thompson was attempting to either open or close the door when he fell backward hitting his head on the edge of the verandah.
He told the police that he rushed to assist the man and saw blood coming from the back of his head. The woman left to get a vest to wrap the wound, he told the police.
