Missing man found dead in Marigot

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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

  26. December 1, 2011

    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

    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

        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.

      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.
