46-Year-Old Fisherman DROWNS In Guayaguayare

A fisherman is said to have drowned during a fishing trip in Guayaguayare on Friday afternoon (10th October, 2025). The deceased has been identified as 46-year-old Ramdath Pana of New Grant, Princes Town.

According to reports, Pana had gone fishing with his friend at Pt. Galeota Road, Guayaguayare, around 12:00 PM. Both men walked approximately 600 feet into the water to throw a fishing net, after which Pana remained on the shore. However, approximately six (6) minutes later, Pana’s friend noticed that he had disappeared. After calling out to him with no response, he sought help from nearby friends to search the area. They later discovered Pana’s body floating face-down in the water. Despite efforts to resuscitate him, Pana was unresponsive.

Police and Emergency Health Services were notified and Police officers assigned to the Mayaro Police Station, led by WPC Jagroop and PC Osondu, responded and were guided to the scene.

A District Medical Officer (DMO) examined the body and ordered its removal, pending a post-mortem at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC) in Mount Hope.

Investigations are continuing. 

More on this as it becomes available.
