A man, who Antiguan authorities and media have identified as a Dominican was found dead in a hotel room in Antigua on Monday morning.
Patrick Joseph’s body was found around 9:00 am in a room at Joe Mike’s Hotel by a maid who normally took breakfast to his room, reports indicate.
It is reported that the maid told police that she became suspicious when she knocked on Joseph’s door several times without getting a response.
A key was used to enter the room where Joseph’s lifeless body was found with a sheet covering the lower part.
It is reported that Joseph has been living in Antigua for a number of years and had complained of feeling unwell.
It is said that he was a patient at a hospital where he was being treated for kidney problems.
Its not yall business wat he was doing in the hotel the man is dead have some respect
I remember Patrick as a hardworking individual who was always ready to help in what ever way he could.
He was a huckster for a number of years and lost his boat during a hurricane many years ago. He appeared to have no close family and may have been the reason why he lived in a motel. I will always have pleasant memories of his friendship.
RIP
Dominican AGAIN!!!!!!
I don’t know the deceased but RIP & my deepest sympathy goes out to his family & friends.
It’s unfortunate how some ppl find humor in other ppls sorrow. The man died let his family grieve in peace
Am hear reading all the comments, Lord my people ignorant!!!!! When someone is on dialisis it is exstreamly difficult on the body. that guy realize that his end is close so instead of staying in a place with noise or where he is uncomfortable, he rather go and meet the Lord in a place where he may relax.I do realize it has some people that new his condition, So please my people if you all dont have nothing nice to write please dont post any negative stuff on there. Is not only Dominican that read this site. Just say somthing positive and nice for once, this a death.
May God have mercy on his soul, and may God comfort his family at time of his passing.
what’s up with us Dominicans? why do we continue to show that we are lacking so much …can’t we just once give some respect to someone? I mean just read these comments? ewwwwwww. perhaps you all should just go over to investigate…..dang!
I see that nowadays people don’t respect the dead as they used to. No one knows where he/she is going to die. So even if he took Viagra or whatever, should people be trashing the brother like that? come-on people! let’s be people.
Why, when and how he died is for the examiners to give us answers. We all have to die one day, and we don’t know how. As some one comment he lost everything when he got sick. Do you know even though we are in the Caribbean, in the US or other parts of the world, some of us are a pay cheque away from being homeless.
I don’t know how and why he died, the fact is that he is dead, and we should have more empathy and sympathy for him and his extended family. HIS OWN IS IN FROMT, YOURS IS BEHIND.THOSE WHO WITHOUT SIN, FIRST CAST A STONE. Why don’t some of the people who have so much negative comments go read a book, to yourself, or get a dictionary and look up the words, human, sympathy, empathy, sorrow, loss.
Pat I will mist you my dear friend. You were kind and loving always ready to help, I will always renember that big smile.I know you could not see and was sick, but that did not stop you from being there for your mother .my friend fear well, I am so happy I knew you, fear well pat fear well.
if we cant say accept my sympathy please people stop making jokes about the reasons why he was at the hotel. the man died at a hotel. i believe that that was exactly the way he wanted it to be. i dont know patrick but i have to say if it wasnt fowl play he did it his way. may his soul rest in eternal peace.
Some people have no sympathy at all. The man is dead, for God,s sake, and he has a family.
Sick but in a hotel. Rest in Peace.
Because he had no family in Antigua and could afford to book him self in a hotel where he could be comfortable. R.I.P patto
Some of you will always remain where you are and not moving forward at all in a productive way, when I read some of these comment, I realize ho people are still so damn illiterate just by the dumb comments they leave on here
Some of us should think before we write
So sorry! But to many people are making the hotels rooms the dying sport. Can someone help me? Why is a sick man who leaves in a place go to a hotel by himself?
He lives in the hotel/apartment. He has long term residence there.
if he is living in Antigua for a number of years, what is he doing in a hotel?
I hope that with the kidney problem, he did not take some viagra
hmmmmmm
same thing i checking.. he living up dere for a number of years and he is found dead in a hotel.? hmmmmm… something fishy about that..
He had been living in Antigua for a number of years but returned home due to illness. However, he had to return to Antigua for dialysis treatment. He had no where to live thus rented the hotel/ Apartel on a long-termed basis.He was seeking a house to rent but was unsuccessful. Hope that clears the air.
May his soul rest in peace. Hopefully, an autopsy will determine his cause of death.
R.I.P cuzzo
hmmm….why was the sheet covering him at all? who covered him?
jack @!#$ the man that cover himself when he went to bed in his room at the hotel.
The question is not who covered him, but why was he in a hotel room if he lives in Antigua?
IKR…If he was visiting the country for medical treatment for his sickness, then obviously I would understand him staying at a hotel for the time being. Something is not right. I may be wrong but how can one be living in a country for a number of years and found dead in a hotel? Was his place of residence the hotel? Just curious
idiot don’t u cover urself when u going to bed? and besides the hotels wlaways have a.c so the more reason for him to cover. duh.
And I suppose we all know where and when we will be when God is ready to close the curtain of our life.
In that case we should all remain where we want to be when we die and never move from that spot.
Those are very stupid questions. Did you not stop to think that he could have gone to bed just like that?
what a tragedy
RIP my brother. God bless you.
he was a such a nice person. he was from portsmouth he lost every thing when he fell ill
news???? ok.
Patrick did you stop going for your dialysis treatment?
Rest in Peace
