As per the reports, the body of the dead man was spotted by a Mangrove Ranger at the location of Hope Beach. The Mangrove Ranger at nearly 11:30 am observed the dead body at the beach of East Coast Demerara, a region on the northern part of Guyana, and immediately informed the situation to the police department.

The police officers made their way to the site of the finding at Hope Beach as per the information, after which they took the area under control after spotting the dead body of the man. As the team of investigating officers under the leadership of a sergeant initiated the proceeding, they found that the body was in an advanced state of decomposition.

It is said that the dead body was wearing the clothes which was also collected as clues by the law enforcement officers. The dead man was wearing a striped jersey of cream and black colour and underwear of cream colour. The dead body was lying motionless at the place with its face up.

Subsequently, the police officers on duty initiated the investigation and examined the dead body with the area around the spot. The photographs of the site were also clicked for clues. Due to the process of decomposition of the dead body, the man remained unidentified and the officers were also not able to spot any sign of violence to take the investigation in a direction.

After the primary examination, the dead body of the man was ordered to be removed from the site of Hope Beach. The dead body was then transferred to the Memorial Gardens Mortuary till further proceeding and post-mortem process.

The investigation into the case is continued by the police department. The officers assigned to the case are trying to identify the man with the help of collected clues.

For the cause of the death, the law enforcement department is waiting for the report of the autopsy to make other moves in the way. As it is clear that death took place some time ago which led to the body decomposing, it is assumed that the incident of death took place somewhere else and the body was left in water which itself made its way to the coast.
