The body of 22-year-old Ravi Surajpaul, also called ‘Dog Man,’ of Lot 338 Ankerville, Port Mourant, Corentyne Berbice, was at about 6:00h on Monday found by his parents hanging from the ceiling of his home in what is suspected to be an act of suicide.
The dead man’s brother, Mooniram, told Guyana Times International he had had a conversation with his late brother on Sunday and nothing seemed amiss.
“He tell me he gone. Me ask him, ‘Wheh yuh going?’ He said he (was) going home,” Mooniram detailed.
Moniram described his brother as a peaceful individual.
Mother of the deceased, Deomattie Surisbally, explained that her son had cut his hand on Sunday and had had to seek medical attention; but other than that, there was nothing abnormal about his behaviour.
She explained that, later in the evening, she and her husband left to attend a “wake”, leaving Ravi at home, since he had refused to accompany them. Upon returning home in the early hours of Monday, they called out for him to open the door, but there was response.
They called a neighbour to open the door for them, and he jumped through a window and made the discovery of Ravi’s body hanging from the rafter.
The Police are investigating the matter.
