Police on Sunday said they were investigating the discovery of a badly decomposed body found on Sunday October 26, 2025 in a grassy area along a track at No. 43 Village Seashore, Corentyne, Berbice.

The Guyana Police Force said enquiries revealed that a 31-year-old fisherman of No. 35 Village, Corentyne was walking along the No. 43 Seashore after experiencing an issue with his fishing boat, which had become stuck at sea due to low tide.

While proceeding through a track leading towards the public road, he detected a strong stench and subsequently discovered the remains, police said.

Police said they visited and processed the scene after which the body was escorted to the Port Mourant Public Hospital. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, the cause of death could not be immediately determined.

The remains have been delivered to Ramoo’s Funeral Home pending identification and a post-mortem examination, the police force added.

Investigations are ongoing.
