Body Of Eldery Man Washed Away In Gully Found

The body of an elderly man who was washed away in the Cassava Piece area in St Andrew last Thursday has been found in Sandy gully.

William Marshall, a 79-year-old labourer was reportedly washed away in a section of the Cassava Piece gully while cutting and gathering tree branches to burn coal.

According to reports, the man was standing in the gully when a raging body of water, which was caused by a heavy downpour of rainfall in the neighbouring Mannings Hill area, came along and washed him away.

The incident comes on the heels of a would be tragedy, where a 12-year-old boy narrowly escaped death after he was rescued by a 24-year-old man, Tremayne Brown, after he was washed away in Trench Town gully.
