The body of a 50-year-old man, who was fished out of the sea at Castle Bruce, has been identified as Ruthus George of the said community.
Police Public Relations Officer Sergeant Kent Matthew said at about 7:30 am the Castle Bruce police retrieved the lifeless and naked body of George on from the sea, close to the shorelines at the Castle Bruce bay.
“There were bruises to his legs and face. That body was removed to the Princess Margaret Hospital where it was pronounced dead and secured at the mortuary at the hospital pending a postmortem examination which will be perform in preparation for the inquest which will be held later,” he said.
The police have also reported that George allegedly went rock fishing the day before and had not been seen until his body was seen by a villager and fished out of the sea.
it is sad to hear of his passing. He was a humble man yet proud of who he was. He was never too busy for the young ones in the village, always ready to help . Always ready to give, be it uplifting words of wisdom or correcting you whe he sees you doing something wrong.
Man I remember dwiveying, and hunting for commando comics and always ending up at his place in jalousie.would stay and read all his commandoes. He would cook some tasty rasta meals with buttermarker and coconut milk.sometime ago returned home and ran into him with my oldest brother at tapa zukis. was great running into him again.
Thanks bro for your wisdom and patience and love.
It seems like we Dominicans are very stupid,ignorant,and obnoxious people. I do not know RAT, but it seems that RAT was doing the thing he loves the most (fishing) unfortunately a mishap took place. This does not mean that he was dealing with drugs. We Dominicans need to think before we open our mouths. My sympathy goes out to his entire family. May your soul rest in “peace” and for we Dominicans please let him rest in peace if you known what this is!!!
This is not the place or all those negative comments.
My people must learn to deal with matters properly.
This is not the placebut i want the Parl Rep to look into the matter. I was told that the chairman of the council was turned away by the doctor in the village and he later collapsed. He is now a patient at the P M H
That should not be tolerated. This issue needs to be dealt with. I want to know the facts.
some of these so called doctors think they are doing people a favour. If you do not want to serve people grt out of the profession. It is a life of service. Please investigate
my sister and I always looked forward to seeing you whenever we were in Castle Bruce or you would come looking for us bringing whatever fruits you had. We will miss you. May you rest in peace our friend and cousin. You alway loved the sea, that view of the ocean from your home was breath taking. Our prayers with your son and family member. I still see you smiling
I grew up with Rat in Castle Bruce,we went to the Technical College together for two years; my house is just a few yards away from his house,so every year when I go home, I would take something down for him and spend plenty time together;so I know the man very well.Actually, when we were attending the college,I being a country-bookie was being picked on by a town boy,and Rat was quick to come to my defense;that’s the type of person he was.He would always defend the weak and vulnerable ones.He had the heart of a Lion.Please,those of you who do not know the man, please refrain from your negative comments.Rat was one of the Dominica’s most multi-talented people,one of the most courageous person I ever knew.Castle Bruce has lost one of it’s greatest soldiers.I could write a book about the great qualities of this man,but time and space does not allow me.RIP my brother,and may JAH guide you through this journey.I will miss you, and always remember you.
lazo man you could not have said it better. RAT was always there to help and to encourage others. So talented. It’s a pity more of those folks who give negative comments did not have time to spend with RAT. RIP man RAT.
You always gave me that lovely smile.
You repected me.
so sorry that is how your life ended.
You had such a wonderful smile.
May you rest in peace.
May thy soul rest in peace. I can envisage the man coming to Grand Fond and would ride all through our yard to check de brothers dem back-a-yard. We still shivering, we’ll miss de brother; that cheering smile & neat teeth.
JAH WILL BE WAITING THERE!!!!
I do not care what u all people say, i know my brother better than u guys he will be miss.
that too shall pass
I remember the CB sports committee made “RAT” sportsman of the year a few years ago. I had the opportunity of interviewing the man. A very humble human being – a man who loved sports and CB on a whole. He inspired many through his dedication, commitment and strong will to help in sports development. RIP my brother. Castle Bruce and the whole sports community have lost a great individual. You will be missed
RIP, I was fortunate to have meet this Humble and Wise man several months ago, and give thanks for his soul! He was my husband and his familes childhood friend he will definitely be Missed! My condolences to RATS family.
Rest in peace. Brethen you taught I to ride a bike. You were a brother. We were good friends at thirteen, had our own crew”the old gang” as we hang out by your mothers house. Souris (mice) was the name I gave to you, people will not know but it had to do with a girl and youthful feelings. Later it morphed into Rats. You were a true brethren. Haven’t seen you in a few years. However, the last time we met you were still the warm and affectionate brethren I have known. To your family my condolences.Rest in peace Ruford.
Yup ,RAT rest in peace we will all miss you in catle bruce
Some people are insensitive, unkind and downright wicked. How can you all accuse the man of dealing drugs and you dont know the man? The man was always rock fishing and passing by my home and selling me his fish. I even asked him if he is not afraid of that sea cus I have NEVER been on the sea…. How dare you even suggest that, you wicked and malicious people. God will deal with you all.
Rats my big brother. I will sorely miss you. You were a pioneer. Not only for the fact that you brought the game of football to Castle-Bruce. But in your dealings with young men. Always positive, always encouraging. It is sad that I will never see you again my brother.
I just have one question though; why was he naked?
Why is it that dominicans always gotta insult somebody to make themselves look superior or more intelligent? jeez ppl giv it a break. ppl got ego problems. Let the police do their work. Enuf with all the speculation.
whatever the case is i think the police need to do their job and let’s all pray for the best. there are alot of unaswered questions but can any of us answer them? no! so let’s just hope that the police can do the proper investigation and give some reasonable results to his family.
I agree. But policemen are not magicians. In such a case I am wondering what can they say that the community doesn’t already know?
RIP UNCLE. CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY
rest in peace RAT you will surly be missed. just the other day Larenze and i was fishing with you and now you are gone life is really short, hold strong marley and greg. jah guide
making the wrong comments or exhibiting the wrong behave at an inappropriate time is a form of mental illness
schizophrenia
please see dr benji at office or distric visits its free.there is a very thin line between sanity and insanity, which side are you people. what happen to sympathy?
SOME PEOPLE ARE SO HEARTLESS WITH THE COMMENTS I READ. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO
POINTING FINGERS. ITS A SAD MOMMENT FOR THE
HIS FAMILY AND OTHERS HE LEFT BEHIND. LET
HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE. NO ONE KNOWNS HOW
WHEN AND WHERE LIFE IF BEING CUT SHORT
wow someone is dead and all you guys are doing is sitting there assuming the worst about the situation.on the other hand alot of you knew him and what kind of person he was so your comments are counter-intuitive jackasses. rest in peace uncle we will miss you
hold ur head dizgz am praying all u we miss u rat
The Q95, Lennox , Matt Syndrome, paranoia seem to have many Dominicans insane. Because if in everything is something political or negative you see, then something must be seriously wrong with you.
Some of you guys really need to check your mental health before its too late.
Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!
@Wait A Minute
lol @ Wait a minute!!! I like that..
Sad news.RIPRat.Sorry that was the way your life ended.Greg,be strong. God is able. If you trust Him He will see you through.
To all the family members,may God give you the courage and strength that you need at this time.
Pray that the community supports you all.
Blessings.
Let my brother rest in peace. Jah guide
ok for some of the people who dont not about my big brother he was aka (RAT) and the name is ruthford ok and guess what the drug deal gone bad in your mind i got it and you can come get it by me so please leave my brother rest and he was loved and a very loving person so i guess that is y the call yall dummy in can some of yall really are
My sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family. I have known Rufford since we were kids, very pleasant, always smiling. I am diffinitely saddened by his sudden death, he died in an environment in which he always loved, unfortunately. Guess however, that he is in a much better place than we are in at the moment. I do empathize with his family, as the incident has brought back bad memories. Someone very close to me left us in exactly the same way in castle Bruce. Remember, this individual has loved ones and they are grieving his loss. No one knows what occured and should not make any assumptions or come to any conclusion. It is normal when there is an unexpected death for the police to be involved and an autopsy is done to determine the cause of death, this does not necessarily mean that a crime was committed. He may have been swept over by a wave, have a seizure, there are so many possibilities, so let’s wait for the autopsy and refrain from making negative comments.
this guy was the coolest and most humbled. He loved diving,and rock fishing. If he wasnt in his garden you could almost find him by the bay diving. He died doing what he enjoyed the most. Its really sad that he is gone. RIP. So please refrain from saying this a deal gone bad. If you dnt kno just be silent!!!
thanks DNO for not showing the body !!!am sure its out of respect to his family.
wow its a bunch of ignorant ppl commenting on here. None of you knew the man nor the circumstances surrounding his death. Stop jumping to conclusions and wait to find out the details of the story geez. That man was no drug dealer nor troublemaker. We dominicans too fast. RIP Rats
HAHAHAHA
NOW THIS IS JUST TOO FUNNY:
AFTER RANTING AND RAGING ABOUT HOW THE GUY IS NOT A DRUG DEALER AND ALL THAT, ‘BERRY’ ENDS WITH: “RIP rats”
“RATS” HAHA THE NAME ALONE JUST UNDID ALL THAT YOU SAID.
DON’T GET ME WRONG. I DON;T HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT THE GUY MYSELF, BUT IT JUST SOUNDED FUNNY!
AND CONDOLENSES TO THE FAMILY
If you don’t know RATS, then why call yourself c.bruce.
Oh I see, you’re a fraud. People have been identifying you with Castle Bruce.
hello!
read well will u?
does anything i have said here indicate that i don’t know ‘of’ “rats”?
please go back to logic 101 thank you
you castle Bruce people will never change like to spread false news that is why any time i hear someone from castle bruce say something i do not repeat it live my cousin alone he was a humble man may his soul rest in peace.
LOL….That’s the culture around here…ignorance galore….just go under the political news…a bunch a idiots talking st all day
this could be a missing man from guadeloupe since last saturday, a man named Eric MONTOUT.
Look my uncle went to fish like he always does ok and I guess he got hit on a rock by a wave and fell unconscious so he drowned. Stop talking crap about drug deal. U people need to grow the frig up. R.I.P. Uncle I will surely miss u
I support you 100%. Please accept my sympathy, but these things must be expected iin life. From the day we are born we are not sure of a hot meal, but we are sure we must die. He has gone in front and all of us here taking have to follow.
Now is the time when you need your Faith. Hold firm. Bless you!
i feel sorry for those he left behind,and we should just face it that no matter wat bad minded people will always have something to say but that does not matter cause sooner or later they will be judged by God,the important thing is those who can to pray and give the family some respect for their loss
ugh stop talk about this island, we dominicans need to surender our lives an help ppl surender too
Surrender to what? We need to take ourselves in hand and behave ourselves.
rip cuz
Anonymus,
Is he your brother or your cousin? One place you said brother, the other place you said cousin. Please Accept my sympathy.
Could it be possible that this man went rock fishing and fell off the rock?
If you all cannot say something good, do not say anything. My bother death is not what u all think. Dominicans must learn to get facts before puting their two cents. Let my brother rest in peace.
true that right they like to put their 2cents where it dont belong he loved to fish and he died doing what he love best.so they need to get the facts.
We going from bad to worse. There are so many things that could have caused his death but yet the first thing taht comes to a lot of minds is drug deal or murder. It could just be a simple drowning. We need to stop being so negative.
LIKE YOU SAID THERE ARE SO MANY THINGSTHAT COLUD HAVE CAUSED HIS DEATh. READ YOU COMMENT AGAIN.SO FOR SOMEONE TO ASSUME DRUG RELATED IS THE PERSON WRONG? COME BACK TO EARTH.
hello, that is my village, who that? who that? somebody tell me
why are y’all quick to say is homicide… drug deal gone wrong whtever,….stupes…could be a simple drowning or missing person….
ignorant dominicans…
You may be correct, but for law enforcement, they have to deal with the case as if it’s a homicide until they can rule it out.
is it someone from the village??? someone from cb tell me
yes it is someone from castle Bruce
Drug deal went wrong or the Devil needed a Soul in return for a favour done.
if don’t have any thing to say don’t say nothing at all
YOU RIGHT
Let my brother rest in peace .If u do not have something good to say just dont say anything,get the facts first.
obo that there man, if is obo is drug ting that
You have a VERY serious problem. Get some help.
My condolences to the family and friends of this man.

Contaminated crime scene…
Now you know why the homicide conviction rate is so low in Dominica. They should have cordoned off the entire beach.
how is it a contaminated crime scene? was the person found dead where he is currently laying? no..the body was washed up…be intelligent……
SAY THIS AGAIN SOME OF THEM SO FOOLISH
O Lord! We are smart asses today, arn’tw
we? The body was fished out of the sea.
omg dats the funniest comment. the man was pulled out of the sea? where is the crime scene???
Why would onlookers want to pass by a dead body?! Honestly.
Hahahaha! Such beautiful minds you have.
money laundering, political warfare, drug trafficking,illegal immigrants, secrets in High and Low places….what do you expect??? now anything is possible in the Isle of Beauty…
Anything and everything is possible. We have to wait for the results.
…..results are not always”just”results.
thats not a man DNO… wtf? thats a white spot
ADMIN: We blocked off the dead body with the ‘white spot.’
Look upon us oh GOD..
wat is dis world coming to
Lord help us
i dnt think its wat ur thinking- he drowned i think
Here we go.. Seriously?!!
The world is what we make it not what it makes itself
It is coming to an end…..lol…
world without end amen. the end of man kind man have even become self destructive.
what is your Dominica becoming, Satan is on the rampage in this island, too many devil worshipers and evil doers, this island is becoming a scary place
As a man thinketh so is he.
The man went fishing, he drowned. What has that got to do with devil worshipers? If you cannot say anything good why do you bother to speak. Keep you bad ideas to yourself. Nobody wants them.
People have been drown since they found water on earth. You people are ful of gas.
