A post-mortem examination determines that 49-year-old businessman Freeman Fordyce died of heart failure after he is found dead in his Nandy Park home on Thursday afternoon. Kaieteur News reports he is discovered around 13:00 hrs, while Guyana Chronicle says he is found in a bedroom at the same location on the East Bank of Demerara.
Both outlets say the examination is conducted by a government pathologist and is completed over the following days. Kaieteur News reports that preliminary investigations indicate Fordyce, who lives alone, was last seen alive by a relative on Sunday, 2 August 2026, around 16:00 hrs. Guyana Chronicle reports the post-mortem is carried out on Friday by Government Pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh at Memorial Gardens Funeral Home.
While Kaieteur News attributes the heart-failure finding to the prime minister’s disclosure, Guyana Chronicle frames the same conclusion as a police statement. Neither outlet reports additional causes or injuries beyond the post-mortem determination.
