UPDATE: Man dies in Grand Bay accident

House where the body of the man was found on Monday morning
House where Anselm St. Luce died on Monday morning

A man was killed Monday morning in an accident which appears to involve a malfunctioning power grinder.

The police have identified the man as 36-year-old Anselm St. Luce of Boloom, Grand Bay.

According to police PRO, Inspector John Carbon, Anselm was using the power grinder, which was attached to an electrical power outlet on his porch, when the blade flew off and lodged into his left groin area.

He succumbed to the injury on the porch where he was pronounced dead by the district medical officer.

The body was transported to the Princess Margaret Hospital Mortuary pending a post mortem examination.

Inspector Carbon said that investigations are continuing.

    My deepest condolences to family, relatives and friends. Eternal rest grant to him oh lord and may his soul and all the faithful departed rest in perfect peace. Let’s make jesus our saviour now, not later we don’t know the hour, now is the time of salvation, after death is the judgement no repentance. Jesus now more than ever because we’re sailing in stormy weather. God is faithful to the very end and never gives what we can’t bear, he will see you through this. What he’s done for other he’ll do for you. Find comfort in god’s word, who feels it knows it, there’s no disappointment in the lord, take him at his word. Amen

      It is carryons like this that cause people to lose faith in religion.

      Birth and death are two natural phases of life. This type of prayer is like saying to God He is not doing His work so we have to plead with Him to remember us and save us from His own natural laws.

      Geez, people we are in the 21st century. Draw your minds out of the 1st. So long as we are born we HAVE to die. That is God’s law. Even Lazarus had to go when his time came.

      What we do not want are sickoes who make it dangerous for others to walk the streets or just be alive, or careless people who cause unnecessary suffering to others, because this short trip through life can be beautiful if we decide to make it so.

      Let up on God, will you? Stop suggesting that He is asleep on His job.

        Why should you lose faith in religion because of the prayer of someone? It makes no sense. If your faith is weak then you will lose faith. One whose faith is strong and not a cradle/tepid Christian will never lose faith and by no means because of the prayer of someone. Allow people the right to post their prayers. You have a right to make any form of comment and expect them to accord you this right. This is the Golden Rule.

        Reading what was written by the writer I see nothing about religion. All I see and understand is someone seeking the face of Jehovah on behalf of their fellowman and country, is that a crime?
        Isn’t it the same God that say in the bible “Call upon me and I will answer you”?Did he not also say “If my people who a called by my name will humble themselves and pray, seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,then will I hear from heaven forgive their sins and heal the Land”.

        Toure continue to pray for DA and her people instead of frivolous comments and mudsling.
        The Bible say “pray without ceasing” much more of that should be done than trying to be politically correct.

    How sad. at the start of every day, you never know what is in store for you later. Mr. St.Luce’s story is our story. Let us al learn. Thos eof us who beleive that we control the world. We are nothing indeed.

    Like the teacher from Soufriere, we go to sleep and may never get up. It is always good to say thanks to the father when we can actually get up and go about our business.

    • Justice and Truth
      February 19, 2013

      This is true. We never know. We should begin the day with God in prayer, asking him for his protection throughout the day and end it in likewise manner until we retire for bed. During the day we should always keep him in mind, in prayer.

      Guardian Angel Prayer

      Angel of God my Guardian dear
      To whom His Love commits me here
      Ever this day/night be at my side
      To light and guard
      To rule and guide. Amen!
