AN Unemployment Relief Programme (URP) worker is dead after he collapsed outside his home in Pleasant Prospect, Tobago.

His wife Patsy King-Roach told the Express on Wednesday she believes if an ambulance was available at the time of her call, her husband would have been alive today.

She reported on Tuesday shortly before 7 p.m. her 52-year-old husband suddenly collapsed in the yard following the delivery of water to their home.
