The son of Albert John is calling for clarity on his father’s passing, as he questioned the post-mortem which ruled the death of the homeless man as one of natural causes.
Speaking on yesterday’s Starcom Network Brass Tacks Sundayradio call-in programme, Shawn Francis appealed for a thorough investigation into the circumstances of his father’s death. It was reported that he had been attacked by a group of assailants on November 3 in the area of King Street, The City.
“I would like for something more substantial than natural causes, because his kids, his children, his two daughters and his other son in Sweden, they are heartbroken as well, but they want to know something more than natural causes.
“My father was on the street. I was told he was living a rough life, and natural causes for him would have been something else. This is not natural, and I just want some more details as it pertains to the autopsy and the findings of the autopsy from the pathologist. I just want some real answers, I mean, from somebody of importance,” he said.
Francis, who resides in Austria, called into yesterday’s programme during a panel discussion that centred on homelessness in Barbados. (JRN)
