According to Onique Persaud, a social media user who claims to be an entrepreneur, writer and visual activist stated that Gardner died, while proving that Adrianna Younge didn’t die out of drowning. She emphasized the act as a ‘tragedy’ stating that no one should have to die to prove injustice. 

"This is a video of Henry Gardener, who allegedly recently drowned himself to prove that Adriana Younge did not die at the double day hotel in Guyana. This is a tragedy because no one should have to die to prove an injustice. I pray that our heavenly father shows him mercy and rescues his soul,” she wrote on her social media.  

She shared a video of Gardener getting drowned in the swimming pool, which further rose concerns of his death. Persaud, the social media user backed her claims while mentioning that Gardener was a trained swimmer.  

“Thankfully, Henry Gardener’s drowning was captured on camera, allowing his family to see exactly what transpired. The footage shows that no foul play was involved. In contrast, Adriana’s parents were never given the same transparency, neither by the Double Day Hotel nor by the police. 

Anyone who views the video can clearly see what happens when a person drowns in a pool. Henry’s body was visible. He was a skilled swimmer, yet many believe he was deeply disturbed by what happened to Adriana. Some say this was his way of proving that she did not drown in that pool,” Persaud mentioned in her social media post.  

As per reports, Henry Gardener was a handyman and resided at the Toucan Mall. The owner of the mall revealed that he left the deceased near the pool area, and upon arrival next morning at around 7: 20 am, his dead body was discovered in the same pool.  

The matter was immediately reported to the police officials, who immediately started their investigation. No marks of violence were seen on the exposed parts of the man’s body, and the body has now been sent to the Pensioner funeral home, for a post-mortem examination to be performed.
