Elias Dupuis was well known in Dominica<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A young man has been confirmed dead following a drowning incident at Titou Gorge.<\/p>\n

He has been identified as 37-year-old Elias Dupuis, originally from Bense.<\/p>\n

According to Police Inspector, Davidson Cadette, on Monday, April 1, Dupuis left his home at Giraudel with his wife and female friend for Titou Gorge, in Laudat.<\/p>\n

“Moments after entering the water, Elias appeared to be in distress and submerged,” he explained. “Assistance was sought from two male individuals who brought Elias to the banks OF the river where they administered CPR until personnel from the Fire and Ambulances Service arrived where they continued administering CPR in an effort to resuscitate Elias. He was then taken the Accident and Emergency Department of the Dominica China Friendship Hospital and examined by a medical doctor.”<\/p>\n

He went to say that Dupuis was pronounced dead and a death card was issued in his name and his body was taken to the Lyndhurst Funeral Home pending a post mortem examination.<\/p>\n

“The police would like to extend deepest condolences to the relatives and friends of the deceased Elias Dupuis of Bense,” Cadette said.<\/p>\n

Dupius’ death has sent shock waves across Dominica since he was well known as an entrepreneur, photographer and media personality.<\/p>\n

Many of those who knew him, and even those who did not know him personally, took to social media to express their shock and grief at his sudden demise.<\/p>\n

“Omg I recently met his wife and she had so many nice things to say about him. That’s crazy! My condolences,” one person wrote on Facebook.<\/p>\n

“Shocking. RIEP my brother. Condolences to the family,” another wrote.<\/p>\n

“Great loss to so many……Lord give his dear wife and family the zeal and courage in this difficult time. A positive brother who gave so much and worked tirelessly. I m lost for words ……journey well my brother your legacy will live on,” yet another wrote.<\/p>\n

Dupius worked at many companies in Dominica including a stint at DNO as a reporter and photographer under previous ownership.<\/p>\n
