A man, who went missing in Marigot on Saturday, has been found dead at the Bay Side this morning.
The man has been identified as Russel James.
Residents speculate that James may have fallen into a gutter at Dam, which was overflowing due to the heavy rainfall over the past days, and was washed away. But, this cannot be confirmed. However, the jacket he was wearing at the time of his disappearance was found further up the gully.
Dominica News Online is seeking more information on this matter.
My sympathy is extended to uncle Toe and the rest of the family during your bereavement. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Have Faith, God is always with you, though it may not seem so, have Hope, God’s love surrounds you much more than you know, have Peace, God has a special plan just for you, have Joy, for always, come what may, God will help to see you through.
Jeanne
Finally, someone other than myself spelled “ARSE” correctly.

TO ADMIN:
When we post comments of a political nature that you find offensive, you are very quick to reject them. Yet, when people die, you allow all kinds of derrogatory, insensitive and negative posts citing feedom of expression. Please be fair. When morons post comments like ‘I could not care less’ be sensitive!! There are family members who are grieving.
In total agreement. I have had comments rejected/not posted etc.
Miss u.
Friendly guy
U will be miss
But wait I thought we should all be sympathizing not biting each other. NOt making stupid comment as to which political party we follw! This is not a political thing it’s Russel we speaking of. Quiet,village person,everybody friend a loving individauls. Lets join hand and voices and atleast share a lil love and comfort for those who are griving at this time.
Fazed by the sad news. You will be missed by all of us . Such a sad way to go. You walked that road so many times, you crossed that little bridge day and night , you watched that gutter run all of your life, what happened we will never understand RIP Russel. My sincerest sympathies to the other members of the family. It’s painful news to accept but what can we do but shed a tear and take it to the lord in prayer. Hold strong Audrey (Titi) Henneth, Roselia, Amorelle and Alvin and Mammy and the rest of the family in Tortola and Dominica and else where.
how old was he?
My condolences to the family and friends of Mr. James.
Treasure the fond memories you have of him.
And, yes the drains should be covered.
verry sad of somebody family member is dead
Rest in Peace Russel . I pray to God that you did not suffer, cause it would have been so horrible to be in such pain and no help was possible at the time. I was amazed at what i saw Dam river do recently. It is also a lesson to us never underestimate the power of water. And plese people of Marigot it is high time that we all love each other, respect each other, look after each other and unite with each other cause no one know the time or hour. It have too much damn bad people in ah mi village afouh ah we!
to the bereaved family may god continue to guide and comfort u in these difficult time for we know not the hour he never gives us more than we can bear god will see u through rest in peace bro
RIP> have not seen you since i left, but you were a good brother to my sister and you also treated me like your little sister, may your soul rest in peace.
It is sad to know some people still do not know the meaning of when someone is dead.
My sympathy to the family and extended friends.
Russel death was horrible man.
Will miss you coz uncle toe take courage
Roselia, Henneth, Ann I guess i will see you all. Sorry about your loss but may God’s light shine your path
it is sad to see such a young a hard working man lose his life… to his family accept my sympathies and my you find the strength in good in your sad time..
I wanna mention one thing.. for years the dam bridge had been without any railings or protective barriers. A certain young man with a construction company in marigot, a labor party strong hold was given the contract to repair the bridge which he never completed… it was only earlier in this year that Mr Ron Blanc of Ah Fuh Ah We sounds took it on his own to build steel railings on that bridge.. something he was never commended for….
Russell is gone but we as marigot people need to use this to stand together for the benefit of our village
may god be with you always
R.I.P Russel may your soul rest in peace i’LL MISSED U WHEN I COME HOME U ALWAYS HARASSING ME
sorry to get this sad news…..just have one question is this Russell that stayed by the disco related to the lady on the hill…..above meshark shop

he was a good friend…..very shocking to hear of his death….R.I.P
i could care less
TALK OF THE DEVIL HIMSELF!!
WHY AM I GETTING SO MANNY THUMBS DOWN FOR RESPONDING TO THE COMMENTS DEATH AND SUFFERING MADE AGAINST THE DECEASED,
SAYING THAT “I COULD CARE LESS”.
MY COMMENTS TO HIM WAS CALLING HIM THE DEVIL
HIMSELF. ONLY AN EVIL PERSON WOULD MAKE SUCH COMMENTS WHEN FAMILIES ARE GREIVING THEIR LOVED ONE. THIS COMMENTS IS THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS I HAVE SEEN ON THIS FORUM. I HAVE SEE MANY BUT NOT AS THIS INSENSITIVE ONE.
yeah because death will never knock at your door jack arse.
they must have make u out of cement.
just care less if you want . no need to hurt the family by posting this
You heartless piece of s, you should show some sympathy to the man’s family
If you don’t have anything to say why don’t you shut your F insensitive A
who cares if you care less it’s not the family was depending on you for assistance…he’s got alot of people who care …….
English English! The writer said I could care less. ie: It is possible for me to care less than I do now. If he had said I could NOT care less, effectively he would have meant: It is not possible for me to care any less than I do right now.
rest in peace Russel, but we need to see more of the bridges railed properly on the island Pal Rep look into that because these are the things that has to be seen to take to Parliament.
RIP CUZO. GONE TO SOON, TO THE REST OF THE FAMILY HOLD ON TO JESUS, HE’LL BRING COMFORT..
Truly sad. RIP
RIP Russel…ur smile will be missed by many
Rest in peace Russel……
