The lifeless body of a Corentyne labourer was discovered in a house at Number 68 Village, Corentyne, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) on Sunday.
The body has been identified as that of 40-year-old Doodnauth Singh of Lot 67 Number 68 Village, Corentyne.
Police suspected that the man died between 07:00h on Saturday and 07:00h on Sunday. According to the Police, the now-dead man shared a house with Shivnauth Baichan Ganesh, 55.
However, Ganesh told investigators that before leaving for work on Saturday morning, he had a conversation with Singh.
He added that he returned home about 14:00h and observed Singh was still lying in bed at the exact spot where he left him earlier in the day.
According to Ganesh, he went into the backyard, took a few drinks after which he went for a walk. After he returned home later in the evening, he retired to bed.
On Sunday morning, he realised that Singh was still lying in the same position and there was a foul scent emanating from his body. As he checked closer, he saw blood stains on the floor.
He raised an alarm and the Police were contacted. The body was examined for marks of violence, but none were visible.
The Police have ruled out foul play as investigations continue.
