THE PIERCING CRY of a grandmother echoed through the densely populated district of School Gap, Hindsbury Road, St Michael yesterday, after she discovered the lifeless body of her grandson at home.

The second unnatural death in the last 72 hours is also suspected to be a suicide.

The death of 32-year-old Michael Sobers, a father of fraternal twins, shattered the closely-knit community and caused the neighbours to ask why, as they held their heads in despair.

When the SUNDAY SUN arrived on the scene, small groups congregated opposite the orange house, and on the main road an eerie silence took over what was an otherwise sunny day. (ACG)
