Just found this news story from August '09 and thought it was interesting considering the dude was kind of cute.

A post-mortem examination on 24-year-old Dweive Kant Ramdass who was dumped in the Essequibo River on Thursday showed that he died of asphyxiation – consistent with the confessions of members of the coast guard who robbed him of $17M.
Stabroek News understands that the examination was done by Dr V Bridgemohan who also concluded that drowning contributed to the young man’s death. The man’s family yesterday said they were not satisfied with the findings of the examination as they strongly believe the young man was beaten before being dumped.
A sister of the young man, Nirvana Burnette, told Stabroek News yesterday that no family member was allowed to enter the room where the post-mortem was performed and they are questioning this. She said that there were obvious marks of violence on her brother’s body when it was pulled out of the Essequibo River on Saturday morning in the vicinity of Caiman Hole, the same area where the three soldiers had admitted dumping him on Thursday.
“His feet and around his neck had injuries and one of his eyes was popped out and he had what looked like a blow to the back of his head so I don’t know how they are not finding that he was beaten,” the sister said yesterday morning. Police sources yesterday said that the man’s body was decomposed and parts of the skin broken and therefore it appeared as if he was beaten, however, Burnette disputed this view as according to her Ramdass’s body was not in the water for such a long period.
It was during that period the three coast guard members took Ramdass out of a boat which had just left the Parika Stelling and robbed and threw him overboard. Reports are that while the men were returning to the area with the money the sergeant was returning to the base and attempted to stop them but they continued on their way and even switched off their cellular phones. The sergeant and his subordinate are now being questioned about their disappearance from the base at that said time and it is believed that the three coast guards had to be working with information as it was not the first time Ramdass would have travelled the route with large sums of money.
It also brings back memories of the Lindo Creek incident of June, 2008 where eight miners were killed and their bodies burnt. While the police and the army have maintained that the now dead Rondell ‘Fineman’ Rawlins and his marauding gang of killers were responsible for the murders, the owner of the camp, Leonard Arokium, had from the inception accused members of the joint services of committing the grisly act.
Ramdass will be laid to rest today in his native Bartica.
