Dead is Steve Francis, a 31 year-old also of Mt. Horne who succumbed to injuries sustained during an altercation with his brother on Friday 30th March, 2018.

Meanwhile, Police are investigating the death of a three year old student of Grand Anse Valley, which occurred on Easter Monday.

Caleb Frazer was among several family members visiting the Grand Anse beach when he apparently drowned.  His body was retrieved from the water about 3:15 p. m, and efforts at resuscitation proved futile.  He was pronounced dead at the General Hospital.

An autopsy is pending to determine the actual cause of death.
