(Kaieteur News) – A post-mortem examination has confirmed that Jermaine Junior Smartt, a popular butcher from Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, died as a result of shock with cerebral haemorrhage, sustained fractures to both the skull and cervical spine — injuries consistent with the violent motorcycle collision that claimed his life earlier this week.
The autopsy was conducted on Friday by government pathologist Dr. Vivekanand Bridgemohan at Bailey’s Funeral Home, No. 4 Village, West Coast Berbice. The body was identified by Smartt’s cousin, Lawrance Rodrigues, in the presence of the police, before being released to relatives for burial.
Smartt, the sixth of nine children, lost his life following a head-on motorcycle crash on Wednesday evening along the Mibicuri Public Road, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne — a collision that also left a 14-year-old boy seriously injured.
