A body discovered along the Melanie, East Coast Demerara seawall on September 2, 2025, has been identified as 54-year-old Christopher Andrew Sergeant, an employee of the Guyana Revenue Authority. The identification was made by his wife, Rosanna Phillips, in the presence of a Detective Sergeant and Government Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh, at the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home.
Dr. Singh conducted a post-mortem examination but found the cause of death inconclusive due to the advanced decomposition of the remains.
The body was initially discovered by a 17-year-old motorcyclist who alerted his neighbor, 61-year-old security consultant Brian Chin. The police were then notified, and detectives promptly visited the scene.
The body was found lying face upwards, dressed in a white T-shirt, white vest, and blue jeans. Notably, both wrists and insteps were missing, and the face showed signs of severe decomposition with exposed bones. An examination revealed no visible marks of violence.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding Sergeant’s death is ongoing.
