GUYANA - Twenty-seven-year-old firefighter Vashan Manbodh, who was badly injured when a wall col-lapsed on him as he battled a fire at a school in Guy-ana last Wednesday, ...
has died. Manbodh passed away late Saturday at the Georgetown Hospital. He reportedly suffered multiple head injuries as well as injuries to other parts of his body. His death came hours after his family raised concern about his care at the hospital, complaining that he was in an open ward, although seriously injured, and had not been administered an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan to ascertain internal injuries.
“Since Wednesday he was in the hospital, and his situation has gotten worse. He was speaking coherently on Wednesday and today (Saturday) his condition deteriorated to the extent that he is not speaking coherently or recognising persons he should be able to recognise and he also has to be restrained,” a family member told News Source shortly before the man’s death.
