Saint Lucia police are investigating a suspected drowning in Laborie, the second such probe within a few days.
On Monday, November 20, 2023, at about 11:10 a.m., Laborie Police Station officers launched an investigation into a suspected drowning at Laborie Bay.
The identity of the deceased is unknown.
Amid that probe, the police learned on Wednesday morning that a man’s body was floating in the water near the Laborie jetty.
Laborie residents said the deceased was a former police officer who suffered from seizures.
In addition to that latest suspected drowning at Laborie, Marine Police recovered a body from the sea in the North of the Island on Wednesday morning.
Investigators believe the deceased might be a suspected drowning victim who went on a fishing expedition on a beach at Cap Estate, Gros Islet.
Officers launched a probe into that matter on Sunday.
The police have appealed to the public to contact the Laborie Police Station at 456-3645, the Gros-Islet Police Station at 456-3830, or the Crime Hotline at 555 to provide any information to assist with the investigations.
