His family and the people he associated with could shed some light on why he took his life, if he did. At this point we do not know what drove him to do that or, did someone else do that to him. You know the saying, “Dead men tell no tales.”
I only hope, whatever his sins, God forgave him. RIP.
Jagland. I am pray for you , you put tear in my eyes. please I am not in your shoes. have faith the lord know the Island pain. I wish you were close to me. Please don’t blame your govt. His is working very hard. Don’t think politics. You all people put one head together. We on the outside are watching. the lord will open new doors for you all, it may take some time but he will. Keep praying and I am praying too.
“Man reportedly found hangED in Paix Bouche” Sheesh!
Alas as we would say. How sad! I wonder if the aftermath of tropical storm Erika took its toll on him. He could have lost everything including relatives and friends; no exception a job and property, a farm. Some people cannot cope with difficulties of life which are too much to bear. I wonder if he discussed his feeling with someone prior to taking his life, if he did.
Sincere condolence to his family and others who knew him who are mourning his loss.
God is compassionate and merciful. He knows more than we do. Lord, have mercy!
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
RIP MAN….take it easy
Oh my God, have mercy,, now its really sinking in,,,
Dear God
What are we doing wrong to deserve so much punishment? Is it enough to pray to or is the problem following your laws? Is it skerrit? Tell us what we need to do, we cannot take so much punishment?
All over the world people sin? What did we do? De only good news we ever get is a graduate or an award
in a foreign country, what about Dominica? Give us diamonds, oil or silver, give us your blessings no
more curses.
Amen
Maybe it is due to those Dominicans always asking for bad things to happen in Dominica and their prayers were answered in ways not even they would have expected. How many places they told us they were going to block? to prevent us from moving around? Roseau, Salisbury, Marigot?
Or maybe it is Mother Nature in the form of Tropical Storm Erika that poured 8 hours of non stop rain on a mountainous island and caused severe landslides and raging rivers. What do you think? Take you pick.
Instead of asking what did we do, you must look to yourself and examine your conscience. Everyone is responsible for him/herself. People cannot be blamed for the failure of others. We also must not blame others for the fault could lie within us. We cannot answer for people. God knows this very well.
A Jewish proverb: Don’t question God. He may say: “If you are so anxious for answers, come up here.”
This means do not ask why. The answer is right near you and around you. Just do what you have to do; the good that you should do. Let everyone do likewise.

Your words are in no way conducted by Holy Spirit. Not only are you rudely questioning God, who is you Supreme Authority, but you are also making demands to Him. God sent you into this world, so to demonstrate His Love, through you–did you know that?.
There is no curse in Love–but everything righteous and perfect. But when the human beings whom God sent to this world to put His Love on display–for His glory–and they are not giving Him that delight, He will touch their minds, to put it in training and discipline–so to learn to respond to His Laws of Spirit and Truth.–because He wants us to live and not die–God Laws is the Way of Life in Spirit and in Truth.
What you need to do is to search within yourself–check your conscience, your mind, your heart, and your soul,–check with your attitude and conducts– you should have the answers to the question which you are asking from God.
