Authorities are investigating the death of 54-year-old Deryck Sattan-Persaud, also known as ‘Chowmein Man’ following a distressing incident on Tuesday at Fourth Street, Cummings Lodge.

According to preliminary reports, a 64-year-old brush cutter operator was working in a yard around noon when he was approached by a man identified only as “Leo.”
