The police are investigating a suspected drowning of a senior man in the community of Coulibistrie.
The victim who has been identified as Boniface “Bonnet” Lovelle of Coulibistrie said to be in his late 60’s was seen by villagers floating in the sea earlier today.
Dominica News Online (DNO) was informed by a villager that attempts made to resuscitate Lovelle after he was removed from the water proved futile and he was later pronounced dead.
Last month, Dominica recorded two drownings in the north of the island.
On February 20, 2022, Joffre Trevor Cognet aged 60 of Portsmouth drowned at the Batibou beach in Hampstead.
Less than a week later, February 26, 2022, 39 year Erickson “Bo” Piper of Cochrane encountered difficulty whilst swimming at Purple Turtle beach and later passed away.
The police say a full investigation has been launched into Lovelle’s death. DNO will continue to follow this story and report any new development.
Sincerest condolences to the family, friends and acquaintances of Mr. Lovelle. May the good Lord bring you comfort and strength in your time of bereavement.
The information about Mr. Lovelle’s drowning is very skimpy. The police rarely follow up with a detailed report.
I see BAZIL having a field day in my island lately. Before he used to knock the door…tok Tok Tok before entering but know it seems like he passing through the window even when its tightly closed. So many people kicking the proverbial bucket its crazy. Is this a cycle of retribution for the wrong deeds of despicable men and their cabal? This is a troubling trend in my view
That is as.ness
