THERE WILL BE no local autopsy or coroner’s inquest into the apparent suicide of United States Embassy official George Gaines.
In an unusual twist, the body of the 51-year-old security official was flown to his United States homeland Wednesday, following high-level talks between United States Embassy and Government officials.
The United States Consulate had reportedly made a request for Gaines’ body to be sent to his homeland for forensic investigations to determine the cause of death.
Gaines, a regional security official for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, was found dead last Saturday morning at White Sands Beach, Dover, Christ Church.
