CANADIAN VISITOR Robert Mayo was having the time of his life in Barbados moments before he died at Batts Rock Beach, St Michael, yesterday.

The 60-year-old arrived last Wednesday with his wife Doris and long-time friends Heather and Jim Healey. Together the couples set out to complete their packed itinerary.

They visited numerous attractions, including the Animal Flower Cave, Holetown, Oistins, Parliament Buildings, the Barbados Museum and the popular St Michael beach, several times.

“This morning we got up for breakfast and our plan was to go to the beach; normally we walk. At one point when we were enjoying breakfast, he said, ‘I am really enjoying myself, I’m having a wonderful time’,” a shaken-up Jim told the MIDWEEK NATION. (TG)
