The police say they are investigating the death of Kesi Adele Adams, a 33-year-old female from Sisters Village, West Bank Demerara, who was found motionless at about 7 am yesterday at her home, by her mother Bridgette Boston.
In a press release, the police said that enquiries disclosed that Adams had woken up early in the morning and began to do her normal house chores, which included washing clothes.
It is suspected that the Washing Machine and Dryer, situated at the back of the house, has an electrical defect which causes electricity to run beyond the machine’s capacity and onto a long silver hose with metal wrappings (electric conductor) which is attached to the Dryer.
It was suspected that Adams had held onto the hose, which led to her being electrocuted. The woman was picked up in an unconscious manner by public-spirited persons and taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead.
The body was escorted to the Ezekiel Mortuary, awaiting a Post-Mortem Examination.
