Man, 48, dies after falling from roof 

Kevin Browne, a 48-year-old security officer, died on Sunday after he reportedly fell from the roof of a building at Good Hope, East Coast Demerara. 

Police Headquarters reported that Browne, the Chief Security Officer of Sheriff Security, transported workers to the INFAB building situated on the southern side of the Good Hope Public Road.

According to his 52-year-old friend, workers noticed that sections of the ceiling of the building (INFAB) sustained water damage from the roof.  Browne reportedly went onto the roof to inspect the area, during which he stepped onto a section of the roof that broke, causing him to fall several feet onto the concrete surface below.

The workers rendered immediate assistance and transported Browne to the Enmore Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.  Police also stated that Browne’s 52-year-old friend later visited the police station and made a report. 

The body was taken to Sandy’s Funeral Parlour, awaiting a post-mortem examination.

Investigations are ongoing.
