i miss my cousin
Stop the two way fussing, learn to spell and speak properly.The most important thing was that his heart was right with God, so he is spending eternity with his saviour. This should be a reminder to everyone that death is no respecter of person, and it’s appointed unto man once to died and after this the judgement. Please ask yourselves if i’m to die today or anytime will my eternity be in heaven, or hell, Tomorrow is not promise to no one. Gwenneth my prayers and thoughts are with you and your kids. Always remember his will be there in your time of grief.

He will be missed…. He is gone but not forgotten……….
Some of the comments here really make me sick to the stomach. I mean someone just died and instead of thinking of his family in this time of grief, some of you make it a time to mind the dead man’s business. Whoever he left as next of kin is none of your damn business! go wash ur dirty laundry and remove the skeltons from your closets before trying to expose someone else’s. Some of you ppl just need to get a damn life! get ur fat butts off the seat you are sitting on and go find hard work to do!! SUCH DUMMIES!
nb: he had a wife and five kids so the person thinking of jennifer and the twins first, come again!!! go do ur homework!!
ShUT UP…. its not a contest just sympathetic greetings
RIP cuz…. Thnx Everyone we are holding on Strong … but its not easy… Thnx for your prayers and support through this sad time……
To Wayne, Feilz and the rest of the family..Please Accept my sympathy!!! May his soul RIP!!!
some of you ppl make me sick with your stupid comments!!!!! Get a life!!!!!
My sympathy goes out to Jennifer and the twin babies, may you find strength in the Lord.
he had his wife and five kids so i hope u take care of jennifer and her twin now portsmouth resident
some ppl just dont know when to shut it and when to open their u know wht
These comments are in poor taste. God the man has just died it does not matter who he got who he had – give the people some time to grieve. Yes everyone involved will be grieving at this time and it is them who has to reconcile with each other in this time of grief.
Very sad news on a monday morning. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and may his soul rest in peace.
I worked with Wills for a number of years and he was one of the most dedicated and committed guys that i worked with in my eleven yearsin the police force.Nothing was too tasking for wills to do.We had a great time workind together.MY deepest condolencies goes out to his immediate family and the C.D.P.F they have lost a great person.I know he is in a better place and may his soul rest in peace.
Rest in Peace my Brother!!
mr weeks i over heard that the officer could have gotten medical attention if only the other officers were in the station you need to look into this
So by this I take it that you mean the other officers should not be out doing police work but rather should have stayed to babysit the dead officer. Or that they should be all out at the same time thus leaving the station unmanned. I am confused!! Please explain clearer what you are trying to say.
wait wait wait…. yea explain… how could he get medical attention when everyone was in bed or out on dutie n make it worst when he died in his sleep n no one knows? ehanswer tat question.
HO LOW AGAIN CAN WE GET A MAN IS DEAD AND PEOPLE MAKING COMMENTS THAT THEY HAVE NO FACTS TO,YOU NEED TO ASK YOUR INFORMER WHO WAS THE PERSON WHO OPENED THE STATION THAT MORNING AND PUT UP THE FLAG,RUMOURS AGAIN IN A TIME OF A SAD PASSING.
the person tat open the station is the person that was on dutie tat mornin…. n the person tat put up d flag is the person that was on dutie ok….
Rest in Peace officer
just want to say condolences to the Family of Constable Wills, espically wife and Kids up in Morne Prosper, it is a difficult time for you all right now losing a Father and a Husband. Be strong God will see you throught and will mend the pains and the broken hearts of everyone hurting right now.
The article reads as is and as I comprehend it except that cause of death was not stated. In time it will be known after an investigation and/or the doctor’s prognosis is conducted. It leaves readers to wonder what caused his death. If it is a natural cause he may have died of a heart attack or aneurysm. This is not unusual and occurs to many people, specifically men, younger or older. Recently of all I have been told of a few cases.
As for those who, as always, steer from the topic of the article, this is not the time to speak of, to speculate and insinuate about the amount of years he was a Constable and that he did not receive a promotion and also should have been offered one and provided with re-training.
Putting it mildly, this On-Line Website and article are not meant for gossip of this type and other nature. It is not the Dear Bella gossip column.
If you are so curious you should contact the Chief of Police and write the local newspapers.
DON reports the news, keeps us informed about the goings-on in Dominica, gives us an opportunity to read the news and to comment “on the news of the day/night”. We should be grateful for this and comment appropriately – according to the topic.
I do think all of you should mind your own business and see about your personal affairs. There is a tendency that some people excel in minding the business of others and putting their mouths in the affairs of others when they should refrain from doing so. They are so busy minding the business of others that they forget about theirs. Such people will be left behind.
You are not sensitive to the nature of this sad news and also towards the grieving family. You must use your common sense. Some of you will make inquisitive neighbors. You must think “twice” before you speak, write and comment. The latter, you criticize others on this Website for doing just that but you do not practice what you preach. As the saying: “Do as I say but do not do what I do.” Indeed!
Your types of comments are uncalled for and at this time when a family is grieving the sudden loss of their loved one. Obviously, so are the Police Department and other Dominicans who knew him and worked with him whether near or far.
It is not unusual that many employees who have worked for the same employer for a number of years have remained in the same position and until they retire. Who is to be blamed? Are you blaming the employer or the employee? The employer has the personnel records of the employee and knows more than you do. There are reasons for all things. As another saying: “You are allowing your brains/mind to work overtime.” Rather than pray (also for them) they gossip and mind the business of others.
I know some Carbons in Dominica. No doubt he is a member of their family, be it an uncle or cousin.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of the belated Constable Wills Carbon. With your faith, you know that God is with you as always. You are in my thoughts and my prayers.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
well said my friend……some people dnt think before they write….or they just dumb!!
Amen to that. We Dominicans need to stop this sort of bad talking people – even when they are dead
where was the other officer when all that happen?
foolish in their bed it was 6.30 am where were u then…stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuups
who is next of kin
WAY HAS THAT TO DO WITH YOU?HOP YOU HAVE ONE WHEN YOUR TIME COME AROUND FOOL
You are too curious. Check your back tyre and you will see its your nenen.
who was his next of kin?
You too fast; his wife
me i agree with you.
is so they fast and dm up. bef curious like….hope u have your next of kin there…
i no carbon personally, we worked together, may your soul rest in peace my boy
i knew will for a number of years now one of thw nicest carbon brothers you’ll ever meet. may his soul rest in peace
On a different note; is there no upward mobility in the Dominica Police Force? How can one be employed as a police officer and for 20 years remain at the same rank? Marinate chief
wtf dat has to do with it????????????????????????????????????
i wonder what that hv to do with the fact the he is dead really….. n a matter fact it’s all about hard work..
May your soul R.I.P. It is really sad to hear of the sudden death of such a young man. I pray strength for the rest of the family. Ms. Joyce, Augustus, Vicki, Gertrude, Tina, his wife, children and the rest of the family, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. He is still in control.
My condolences to the Carbon family. The police top brass is out of step with sensitivity. Failing to notify the next of kin requires a serious reprimand.
Do you know for a fact who was stated on his document as next of kin, cause I don’t? R.I.P. my friend.
This is not true…where do you people get these kind of stuff to say
R.I.P Wills..You will be missed
Deepest sympathies to his family and friends especially members of the CDPF. Eternal rest grant unto him dear lord and let your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul RIP. Hail Mary Full Of Grace…
R.I.P Willo… you will be greatly missed by so many. U had me cracking up so much just the other day when I called and asked for my husband and u threw in that funny acsent on me. That was so hillarious. The last stew-up u gave up. Ur big- loud bright good mornings Mrs…..”..”Willo u were just so much fun to be around with on or off the job. I know u’re looking down at ur boys in the station that you were just with telling them u’re at a place and it’s all right. U will be missed.
My heart goes out to the family and friends in this time of bereavement gone and I know for sure won’t be forgotten… As my husband would always say Willo… U’re the man!
Shortly after a transfer the man died? WHAT A SHAME! There are police officers who have not worn the uniform for years probably decades! Only one set seem to be the “transferable” type. … Just looking for justification for his unwarranted promotion as Acting Chief. I have never seen the Police Force in so much bad light as it is now. Poor man died after being transferred to Castle Bruce, too many frequent and unjustifiable transfers, caused the poor man heart to break!
Some officers continue to fight each other for promotion, so much jealousy, greed and hate in Police Headquaters..So many of the hierarchy hitting on the constables! Don’t worry families your tears will fall on their heads and the God who sees you in private will reward openly when he start to throw them down! As for Carrette his time will come and so many others! Frigging man keeps barking for his dinner! Your time must come! That death is on the police force back for frustrating the officer and many others like him who go through this suffering!
Wa Happen day didn feed you dis mornin? You sound hungry and angry for no apparent reason.
This is not the appropriate forum for this comment! Thank you
some dominican all they can talk is a bunch of crap
Wills Carbon was one of the most sympathetic Police Man I ever met. I remember when he drove this mother from Woodfordhill and me to identify the body of her who drowns and to choose his casket when he worked at the Wesley Police Station and he did this on his personal time off. This is a terrible loss. My sympathies to his children and family
to the grieving family,may you all find comfort in your time of grief. may the lord be with you all
sorry for the lost . may his soul rest in peace.to the carbon family be strong .
My sympathies and prayers go out to P/C Carbon, his family and the Police Force at large. R.I.P .
I’m in shock. I’ve known Carbon since I was a little girl, and cannot remember a time he was not a police officer. I too hope it was not a homicide. I’m praying for your family, especially your kids, who will now grow up without a father. Rest In Peace my dear.
Rest in peace Mr Carbon.Hold strong the Carbon family.
Condolences to the Carbon Family on the death of Wills. I know it will be hard seeing that the family is so close knit. Anyway dont blame the police force for not notifying his wife, I dont mean to be beffy here but they notified who the had on record as next of kin. If you have to pass a blame, blame Wills, not the police, they are not to be blamed for whom policemen present as their next of kin.
couldn’t u jus give ur condolences and leave it as that,a man is dead so sudden that alot his family have to deal with,for wat reason u think u have to put de man business out(should be ashame)
Thanks, ‘Sorry’. You cleared the air, and vindicated the police force. All a dem who wanted to continue spewing their hog wash would not want that done.
It is so sad, that the authorities did not see it necessary to notify his wife. She had to hear it from people who called after hearing it on the radio. What does this say about the police hireachy?
Is ppl like you that causing strife and confusion in the country. Wills Carbon never changed the status of N.O.K (next of kin) on his PF(personal file). Even if Dominica is a small place, protocol is protocol.
Blame Carbon for not having the foresight and vision to change his NOK, not the police force.
Guess he did not expect to die like that….hmmm. Don’t worry Gwenneth…..you are in my prayers.
oh my god we are praying for u sis god will make away gwenneth… we love u and want u to no the lord will carry u
stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupes………solid waste needs your toung to crush….foolish….the wife was the first who was called in a professional way….so shot your am mouth if you have nothing sencible to say.
NO WANDER YOU SO YOUNG FRUSTRTED AND FOOLISH.
A POINT YOU WANT TO MAKE BUT YOUR HEART TELLS YOU ITS NOT TIME FOR POLITICS…..I CAN SEE IT THROUGH YOU BLUE EYES….
you monkey learn to spell it is “tongue, “frustrated” and “sensible” and stop spreading lies, I know for a fact that she was not notified a- – hole.
R.I.P.MY..FRIEND…THIS…NEWS…IS..SO….SAD`…..
omg i hope is not homocide,,,, i hope that the immediate family n friends will get emotional n spiritual support in this time of grief
What homicide you talking ’bout, eh. The man mussa die from a heart attack. Sackway tonei.
i believe peeps give thumbs down just bcuz is MOTS dat say it,,,, the blogger jay said n i quote “oh, my, I hope it was natural causes” that blogger had 3 thumps up then another blogger named disclaimer said “SO what is the cause of death and what is the ruling?” this one had 5 thumbs up,,,, tell me the difference of theirs n mine,,,,, oh i see,,, it’s the wording huh,,,, i said ‘homocide’ n all hell break loose,,,, well i guess dats wat happens when peeps used to u,,,,, jus cuz is MOTS i get thumbs down when others gettin thumbs up hhhmmmm allu tired of me i see
MOTS, the word “Homicide” scared the minds of the people. What thoughts came in GRAMAZONE!
My Condolences goes out to the Carbon family on teh sudden loss of a their son and brother….May your soul Rest in Peace My Brother…
May God provide the family with Strength and Comfort during this time.
May his soul rest in peace!
SO what is the cause of death and what is the ruling?

My deepest sympathy to the family, Nick, Pat be strong, you guys are in my prayers. K
oh, my, I hope it was natural causes. My sypathy to his family.
Let me extend condolences to his family. May he Rest In Peace.
OMG truly sad. Deepest condolences to his family. May you find comfort in his memories.
GUESS SOMEBODY HAD A PLAN FI HIM
be very careful with the things that u say! they may surely come back to haunt u!
R.I.P. Mr. Carbon.
Something in the article really bothered me, where it said, “Constable Wills Carbon, a police officer for about 20 years.”
How can the police force expect to get top recruits of ambitious and qualified young people with so little opportunity for promotion in the force?
Can you imagine 20 yrs in a job and still at the same rank that you were when you started out? This isn’t a knock on Carbon, this is a knock on the force because I know of many others in the same position.
i wonder what’s the reason he never got promotion ehhh??? hmmmmm
THERE ARE THOSE WITH HOW MANY YEARS THAN YHE COMMISSIONER AND DEPUTY….SHOULD THEY BE IN THE POST BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OY YEARS THEY ARE THERE FOR?
PEOPLE DONT GET PROMOTED BECAUSE OF YEARS IN A JOB….
STOP BEING FOOLISH PEOPLE
Right on pardner… this is why I left…. this year would be 10 tens and I knew that if i’d stayed, i’d have still been at the same rank as when I started…
Maybe some people just want to serve their time in the force in peace without any headache.
Some are of the opinion that the additional pay that comes with the rank does not suitably reflect the amount of responsibility and accountability that comes with the promotion. Some make the choice that remaining at a lower rank gives them more time to pursue additional hobbies and more time to spend with their families.
Rank isn’t everything. Peace of mind is more.
R.I.P. WILLS.
Something is wrong.After 20 years on the force he died as a constable.Where was his evaluaton over the years.He should have been retrained to give him an opportunity to propel himself.Or according to Carrette was he one of the kindergarten dummies.We need a dominican with no political ties,we need a proper administrator not necesarilly a police officer,someone like Dr St Jean or Benanzine,as commiisioner not Cyrille Carrette. May his soul rest in peace.
I am sorry that he did not get any advancement in his career. The Police Force has very in the way of Human Resource Management. You must be crazy to want to make Behanzin Chief of Police. Things would be far worse. Trust me. The man suffers from Narcissistic Personally Disorder it would seem. Let us just focus on the matter at hand. Someone’s son, father, husband, brother, friend just died.
Then it appear he would be right at home within the current system!
