Kevin Julius Matthew who recently returned home to attend his uncle\u2019s funeral was riding his motorcycle in the community of Wesley on August 21, 2023, when the accident occurred. Inspector of Police, Fixton Henderson reported that on August 21, 2023, at about 3:15 p.m., Matthew, 49 years old of Monkey Hill, Marigot who resided in Tortola was the lone rider of a motorcycle in a northerly direction along the Eden main road in Wesley.<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, he stated, Matthew \u201cappeared to have lost control of the bike and collided with a utility pole on the western side of the road. The motorcycle was extensively damaged and the rider received multiple injuries and was subsequently transported to the emergency department of Dominica China Friendship Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Inspector Henderson further reported that the following morning, August 22, 2023, Matthew succumbed to his injuries and was officially pronounced dead by a medical doctor upon examination at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The body is being kept at a funeral home pending an autopsy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force expresses its sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased,\u201d Inspector Henderson conveyed.<\/p>\n<p>The news of Matthew&#8217;s passing has been met with profound sadness both in the British Virgin Islands, where he was employed as a plumber, and in his homeland, Dominica, as many took to social media to express their grief in response to his death.<\/p>\n<p>DNO expresses condolences to the family and friends of the late Kevin Matthew and will report any new development once it becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Marigot man residing in the British Virgin Islands, met a tragic end during his return to Dominica, as a result of a fatal motorcycle accident.
