A coroner’s inquest will be convened.
Jno Baptiste added that investigations are ongoing.
Rest in Peace Mr Buffong, you was a peaceful man who was well loved.
You will surely be missed.
God’s Love forever.
so long BUFFONG R I P I know you since I was a kid have a safe one
Rest in peace my cousin. You were loved.
You call yourself “Professor”, you also need to add “Stupid” to it.
“Stupid Professor” you’re a real Donkey.
So sad he had to die in this manner, all alone, on a table.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
God is merciful to the downtrodden and the poor.
RIP BUFFONG. He was very nice actually
what is the point of placing an obviously dead body in an ambulance then taking that dead body to teh hospital just for a doctor to pronounce it dead? Ambulances are not make to pick up dead bodies i believe you pick up dead folks in a Hurst and take them directly to a funeral home. what can be done is you have district doctors whom the police can call and they visit the scene and make a pronunciation of death right there.
Funeral homes cost money, the hospital doesn’t.
This is the procedure. An autopsy has to be performed. After this is done, the body is given to the funeral home.
The Police can’t pronounce anyone legally dead, even if they are obviously dead. That has to be done by a medical doctor. As for being transported by ambulance that is the best way tbh.
The Roseau Market is still New? Just wondering? My Buffong RIP! One of the last from the generation of Harold, Ugly Willy and the rest.
I remember Ugly Willy when I lived in D/ca. He was a character. He was docile but he harmed no one. I do not think he was ugly. He was a slim man with light-brown skin. He needed a good dentist to take care of his teeth. I think he would grin and showed his teeth. This may be why he was named “Ugly Willy.”
It meant, “I am as good as cake.”
When he was asked how he was, he would say, “Moin bon con bobon.” Correct my patois.
I cannot remember I ever saw him begging. There were people who would give him a meal.
When I passed by, there were times I saw him sitting quietly near the street or walking, not bothering anyone. Some people especially children would tease him.
Your comment brought back those memories.
I remember there were times he wore torn pants. Some people would also give him shirt and pants. Though dirt poor (as we would say), I think he was liked. I wouldn’t be surprised if his soul is Heaven. RIP Willy.
My friend the person who was found dead is Boffong, Ugly Willie died years ago
Is this the Bufong that used to say Montserrat moon bigger than Dominica moon
well there is still an old market.. I guess if they say “the market” it could be taken as either.
I know just what you mean, back then those guys like Ugly and Harral were of the few transients we all ever knew, …that’s until the introduction of coke and crack to our streets circa early 90’s, then hell broke loose.
Isn’t this the same Buffong who walks with a stick and has had bandages wrapped around his ankles for years now?
Is that Buffong from Goodwill?
Gravity that do that. Welcome to the next level under Labor. The country getting nicer by the minute.
Your name alone says what comes out of ur mouth. No wonder u needed the pampers
I’m not the one to be upset with. Take that your clueless Minister of National Security and the Dear Leader.
Let’s hope and pray that a proper investigation is done since there is a possibility of foul play in this death.
May her RIP
It’s a him not a her…
well it ain’t gravity this time….hmmm
