The Consulate General of the Dominican Republic in Antigua and Barbuda has expressed deep sorrow over the death of 23-year-old Michael Alexander Garcia, a Dominican national who died in a workplace accident on Saturday.
Garcia, a farm worker and father of a three-year-old, reportedly fell from the roof of a building on a farm in the Diamond Estate area near Potworks Dam around 4:30 p.m. He sustained severe head injuries and was found by emergency medical personnel lying in a pool of blood.
Despite the efforts of Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians and further medical intervention at Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, Garcia was later pronounced dead.
In a statement issued Sunday, the Consulate General, led by Hon. Joaquín Díaz López, said it “deeply regrets the tragic passing of a young Dominican national that occurred this Saturday in the Blackout area.”
The consul instructed Huascar Félix, director of the Consular Cabinet, to coordinate with local authorities and ensure that the victim’s family receives the necessary support and assistance.
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to his loved ones and to the Dominican community in Antigua and Barbuda during this difficult time,” the statement read.
The Consulate’s message has resonated within Antigua and Barbuda’s growing Hispanic community, many of whom gathered outside the hospital Saturday evening to mourn Garcia’s untimely death.
Meanwhile, the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fatal fall as tributes continue to pour in for the young worker, remembered as hardworking, kind and well-liked by his peers.
