Ninety-one-year-old pensioner, Siegsfred Fraser, who was found dead in his bedroom by his grandson on Thursday died from heart failure due to high blood pressure.
The Post Mortem Examination (PME) was conducted yesterday.
Fraser resided in Itaballi Landing Mazaruni River, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).
He was discovered lifeless around 10:55h on Thursday by his 26-year-old grandson, a porter, who hails from the same community as Fraser.
Fraser’s grandson visited the man’s residence but saw the house “tightly secured” and calls for the elderly man to allow him in the house went unanswered.
As such, the porter forced open a window and entered his grandfather’s home calling once more with the hope that Fraser would respond.
However, this proved futile and the 26-year-old ventured into Fraser’s bedroom where he discovered the elderly man “tangled between his mosquito net and his bed while lying face down.”
As a result of this, the man’s grandson raised an alarm and mmediately reported the matter to Itaballi Police Check Point.
Fraser was taken to the Bartica Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
