A 33-year-old Newfield resident has died at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre after spending nearly two weeks on life support, with reports linking his condition to a fall from a truck during a political motorcade.
According to Antigua Observer, the man was admitted to the hospital on 26th April and had remained on life support in the days that followed before ultimately succumbing to his injuries.
Reports connect his hospitalisation to an incident that occurred during an Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party motorcade, though further details surrounding the circumstances of the fall have not been fully confirmed at this time.
The man's death has drawn public attention given the nature of the reported incident and its alleged connection to a political event. Authorities have not yet issued an official public statement detailing the findings of any investigation into the matter.
The Antiguan Herald will continue to follow this story as more information becomes available.
