A Cedros man yesterday succumbed to head injuries he sustained during an altercation with another man last Friday. The T&T Guardian understands that Ramdath Ramchandar, 59, of Bonasse Village, Cedros, died from injuries sustained after he was allegedly pushed by a 71-year-old man.
A post mortem done on his body yesterday revealed he died from blunt cranio-cerebral trauma. In the report by forensic pathologist Dr Hughvon des Vignes, Ramchandar’s death was deemed unnatural but undetermined.
Reports say he was pushed down by the other man and was treated at the Cedros Health Facility and discharged on Friday. However, when a friend went to check on him the following morning, he was found unresponsive. He was taken to hospital, where he remained warded until he succumbed to his injuries around 6.30 am yesterday.
His alleged attacker was taken to the Point Fortin Magistrates’ Court on a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm yesterday. However, with Ramchandar’s death, homicide detectives have taken over the matter.
