Anthony Fitzpatrick Lynch has passed away.
Ninja Man, as he was more commonly known to most Barbadians, reportedly collapsed in The City earlier today and passed away at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Lynch was one of Barbados’ better known street characters who frequented Bridgetown.
He spent many years camped out under the canopy of the old Treasury Building before he was evicted and it was hoarded up.
Lynch, 71, was also known to the courts. Last month, he was released on bail of $5 000 from the High Court but had a trial pending before the No. 4 Supreme Court.
He was accused of entering the Museum of Parliament between September 30 and October 11, 2023 and stealing a briefcase, two armorial badges, a pistol and cutlass set, a cutlass, jacket, cummerbund, a pair of boots, a cup, conch shell, a pipe, bugle, rebate plane, three hand drills and an awl, all belonging to the State.
Lynch was also charged with entering the same building between October 14 and 16, 2023, and stealing a belt buckle belonging to the State. He was represented by attorney Andrew Pilgrim.
