A Dominican has been killed in a deadly motor cycle crash, USVI police in St. Thomas are reporting.
The man has been identified as 40-year-old Richardson Seaman.
According to a release from the St Thomas Traffic Bureau, the incident occurred on June 19 at about 5:45 pm when Seaman’s motorcycle collided with an Audi car.
The Audi was reported to have been travelling in a southerly direction when it entered the northbound lane and ran into Seaman’s motorcycle.
The badly injured Seaman was taken to hospital in a critical condition and later died from his injuries.
The police report that he was not wearing a protective helmet at the time of the accident.
Seaman is said to have been visiting friends in St. Thomas when he died.
The police say the matter is under investigation.
To “Justice and Truth,” sometimes people do die before their destined time because of careless drivers or cold hearted people. If you or others have nothing positive to voice, it is always better to keep your peace. Thanks to all others for your kind words and love that was extended towards my family in such a sad time. May the Lord continue to guide and bless you all as he has blessed us!
Thanks for all the kind words and smpathy that has been extended towards me and my family…And to all the negative that was said, There is a time and place for everything in life, and sometimes people do die before their time.
If they had only allowed to make his entire term in de Jail he would not have died on thet motorbike,blame the Jail for letting him off much earlier.RIP

Do you know these words, ‘Destiny’? As sad as it is, he was destined to die in this manner. How many times we say, ‘If only I knew?’ but too late. We do have regrets and will express regrets about certain circumstances also of our lives and what happened to us. However, in life, there is no ‘ifs and buts’; should not be. What is there to happen will always happen. We must be broadminded about that. We can only hope and pray that this will not happen to us.
God giveth and God taketh away…blessed be the name of the lord jail or no jail god plan was better may your soul rest in peace so forget his past and let him rest
Why are some people so ignorant? I mean… when a tragedy happens, why can’t you just sympathize with the families in pain? Why judge others and make negative/senseless/inhumane/ unnecessary and foolish comments?
I agree that he should have had on a helmet…but just because he didn’t have one on doesn’t give someone the right to run him over…does it??? Some of you are just cold hearted and cruel…stupes
I wish some of you making these negative comments would stop the foolishness! If it were your family member you would be singing a different tune, Nonsense!
Life is precious
Life is short
Life is living
Death is not
Life is given
Life is taken
Life…it should not be mistaken!
My deepest sympathy goes out to the Seaman family!
I am truly sorry for your loss. Be strong and of good courage!May his soul rest in peace!
Death is deceiving
Death is a robber
Death steals away
All our black brothers
Death… it’s our enemy and not each other!
…And death has no victory.
tu va me manquer mon frere …. i am meesing you my brother love you
Je vais vous manquez de mon frère. that’s french for what you are trying t say in english.

My condolences to the bereaving family.
I read all the comments, none of them would say where the dude[victim] was from
I’m saying so to all the would to be bike riders,wear your head gears whenever you are riding your bikes, a life is more important than a helmet, so wear it
RIP Richardson may God strengthen his family at
this momment of grief.
What goes around comes around
If that driver did not make that illegal turn the man would have made it even he was riding fast. The area where that accident happen has a big sign sayin no right turn.
@ V.i.23
Note how negligent some people are. He will be charged. I hope the family can sue him as well for the loss of their loved one. Money will obviously not bring him back but he may be a breadwinner in the family and they are now deprived of his help.
wear your helmets people, it can make a difference..

this ppl who ride bikes think the road is theres try overtakin vehicles because they they believe they can cause is a small bike they have he was a father a brother an uncle rip althought the car was wrong trying to make that illegal turn but those riding these cycles need to take it easy
well it seems like you can’t read
“The Audi was reported to have been travelling in a southerly direction when it entered the northbound lane and ran into Seaman’s motorcycle.”
if the car did not make the illegal turn that would not have happen
Are you stupid?
you are saying the car is wrong but yet you are blaming the cyclist.
where as some poeople on bikes need to be more careful, some people behind the steering wheel do not have any regard for anybody ealse on the road but themselves.
thats not what was said (the other vehicle entered his lane ,if you can read)
i leave in the vi n know where the accident took place it was n illegal turn the driver took that cause the accident
why dont you read beafore u make that stupid comment stuuuuuuupppppppsssssssssssss
say what allu want but let a man jam me on a bike and do kill me an we go see…
Man Shut your Mouth you talking Crap!!!! Your D.A Once a bike accident happen all you blaming the bike. TEBEH!!!!
I’d like to express my condolences to the family. May you find comfort in knowing that others care during this very difficult time of bereavement. May his soul rest in perpetual peace. God speed.
the driver of the car is to blame nothing with the bike driver he was on his side and had right away the car was wrong hope he pay for his foolishness
Good. Afternoon my people. It is very sad to read about our citizens dying in such accidents. Rip young man but bike riders must understand that this activity is very dangerous and please wear your helmets.
Helmets do help, but it’s not the solution. My son was wearing his helmet. He died in a similar accident. ALL drivers should SHARE THE ROAD! Some people think it is okay to overtake others or leave their broken vihicles in the path of oncoming traffic. I sympathize with the Seaman family in their loss. We ALL have to CAREFUL when we are on the road because we ALL have the same RIGHT to be on these roads. I was told the only person that could tell the truth is dead; therefore, even if the deceased was 100% right they still carry the blame.
Correction – We ALL have to be CAREFUL.
May the Lord watch over you now,good bye my friend.
I saw wat happened the Audi driver made a wrong turn. And cause the man to run into him.it wasnt a good site wat I saw new he wasnt goin to make it.rip
Hope you hav givE a witness statement to the Police!
@ V.i 23
You will make a helpful witness.
papamet you could not hold the clutch and break it down in 5th gear and jam the back brakes and wheelie that boy.
Kiyen death came as a genuine shock to me. i know that we all will succumb to death on way or the other but this one trust me left me dumbfounded. I worked with this young man for years I can tell you he was an ambitious young man who was technically inclined and self motivated. Like all of us we have good qualities and not so good qualities he was no exception. He made some bad mistakes that landed him in hot water but justice was served. Now he is gone I feel oblige to write this post. RIP Kiyen…. gone but you legacy (good or bad) lives on.
I to took this one as a shock all now am “down”. Kayen was my boy he would put that smile on me face whether just hearing his voice or seeing his face. Baby your gone surely will not be forgotten. Why you had to live. BOy ur last words will always remain with me. Miss you already boo!!
please bikers protective gears is not saying your not going to die whats it saying is your 75% to 95% safer please use them the cost is nothing when it comes to your life. RIP bro bike is my thing i love them but i must say you can go just like that on the road. one love to the rest of your family
@ dominicans line
As they worship God they must also pray to Him to protect them at all times. It works.
u just come out jail u die already boy… hmmmm
what part of DA he from
possie
choose your carefully that comment was not nice
and!!!!! what does that have to do with the price if cheese in china , jail was made for human beings not animals
We did not need to know that, some of you are totally out of place.
REALLY? People just come from the womb and they die. What’s your point, FOOL?
just like the ting that make you!
@ Anonymous
Is it necessary to state this? If you have nothing better to state, keep quiet.
The just die suddenly he deserved a little respect.
Kayen Boy Boy Boy i dont even know what to say na. RIP baby
Sad news!! But everything happens for a reason may his soul rest in peace! My condolences to the family..
Thank you all for your words of comfort. He’s truly missed. I still can’t believe that he’s dead. He had so many plans!
Thank you to the friend that stayed by his side until his final breath. We are so grateful. We are happy to know that he did not die alone. May God bless you friend. I will miss my brother for his sense of humour. Indeed, he always knew how to make us laugh. We love you brother and will never forget you.
Heartfelt sympathies to MY REEDEMER LIVES on the passing of your brother. May you all find strength in revisiting the happy moments he lived with you. Stay strong
Thank you very much Original Eagle- Eye.
@ My redeemer lives
The loss of a loved one is difficult to bear especially when it is sudden.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. May God comfort you at this time.
I know a Seaman family, very well, in Montreal. Some relatives reside in Toronto. They may all be related. Tomorrow I will telephone those who reside in Toronto which is where I reside.
A Sympathy Card and words of consolation to you and your family, In the Loss of Your Loved One:
You’ve lost someone very special, and it’s going to take time to ease the sadness you’re feeling now.
May the fond recollections of all you shared together make tomorrow a little brighter.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
Hello-sorry about your loss. I just found out a little about Kayen for the first time, literally one 5 minute telephone conversation. Also surprisingly that he was my brother. I am sad not to have known him and worst that he was my brother and I never met him. He was supposed to visit us next month, but his life was taken suddenly. I have so many unanswered questions.What does he look like? what kind of person he was?
Take care!
Damn that messed up my uncle was telling me how he saw this accident. The is the second Dominican dying from motocycle accident in st thomas. RIP.
RIP to a fellow biker
RIP kayen..u just come out jail..better dey had leave u dere then u wud still be alive..
How comforting that is to the family at a time like this. Should everyone go or stay in jail so that they will not die or get into an accident?
What does this have to do with the tragic news? Do you think that your comments are appropriate after the tragic and untimely death of someone? do you think this is what his family wants to read? They already know about his past; they want to read words of comfort and compassion from caring and sympathetic family, friends and strangers. Would you have wanted these unnecessary comments made after losing a loved one tragically? Think before you post your comments, please.
Mind your business. His past had nothing to do with his death so leave it out
Why bring his past in this moment,Some of us are
heartless.
@ Patience
Who asked you? At a time like this you are making such a statement? How ignorant and insensitive can you be? God forgives.
@ Patience
So insensitive and un-called for. Please leave this forum for family, friends and well-wishersof Kayen. Apparently you are neither. So find another forum for your senseless comments.
papamet… woyyy, well RIP padna… i guess is so it is
It’s a very sad ending to another young life. May his soul rest in peace and may the good Lord thru his mercy and grace bring comfort to his entire family in their time of mourning.
On the other hand I do hope that such incident will cause other riders to equipt themselves with protective gears while on these motorcycles. Maybe just maybe, he would have been alive today.
condolences to the family and friends of the seamans fam.
