ALTHOUGH no foul play is suspected in the death of an elderly man whose body was found in a dam in Penal on the afternoon of July 22, investigators said an autopsy would confirm the cause of death.

As of midday on July 23, the man's identity had not yet been confirmed. However, he is believed to be a man nicknamed "Bin Laden."

A 21-year-old man who had gone to pick mangoes along a bushy track near the Mora Dam discovered the decomposing body, which was face down in the water off Victor Street, Syne Village, shortly after midday on July 22.
