SOURCE: Stabroek News– The police today said that the final autopsy report for Adriana Younge confirmed that she died by drowning and no foul play was seen.

The police statement follows: 

The Guyana Police Force wishes to confirm that the death of 11-year-old Adriana Younge has been officially ruled a drowning, with no signs of foul play, according to the final post-mortem report submitted today by the three internationally renowned Pathologists to investigators.

Younge’s body was discovered on April 24, 2025, in the swimming pool of the Double Day International Hotel. The certified findings from the autopsy confirmed that her death was consistent with drowning, and no evidence of trauma, assault, or any other criminal activity was found.

Moreover, the above findings support an earlier report submitted by Mr. Leonard McCoshan (retired) Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigator who concluded that there is “𝐧𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.”

Adriana, a female of mixed ancestry, was reportedly last seen by her grandmother at approximately 13:01 hours on April 23, 2025, in the hotel’s swimming pool. Her body was found floating in the same pool the following morning.

Upon learning of the incident, the Guyana Police Force launched a thorough investigation. The child’s family raised several concerns, citing her ability to swim and alleging the possibility of sexual assault, forced drowning elsewhere, and ritualistic activity. These concerns were taken seriously and fully explored in collaboration with forensic experts.

A comprehensive postmortem examination, including toxicology and DNA testing, was carried out. Key findings include:

● No signs of acute injury or trauma were present.

● Toxicology results showed ethanol levels consistent with postmortem decomposition.

● Sexual assault kit and DNA analysis for potential suspects were negative.

● Skin and airway changes were in line with prolonged submersion and drowning.

● There was no evidence of restraint, struggle, removal, and return of the body.

The Pathologists concluded that Adriana Younge drowned, likely sank to the bottom of the pool, and later surfaced due to natural decomposition processes common in tropical climates.

The detectives are currently preparing the investigative case file for submission to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for her perusal and legal opinion.

The Guyana Police Force extends heartfelt condolences to the Younge family and remains committed to transparency and justice

  1. WHAT THE HELL…! …NO FOUL PLAY: …CONFUSED BY INCOMPETENCE…?

    ***
    INVESTIGATORS SHALL UNDERSTAND THAT:

    (i) ‘…CAUSE OF DEATH IS ONE THING:

    (ii) …WHO CAUSED IT IS ANOTHER.’

    (iii) …MOST IMPORTANTLY IS ‘…FINDING THE CULPRIT/S.’

    ***
    HARPING IN FUTILITY:

    HARPING ON DROWNING IS WASTING VALUABLE INVESTIGATION TIME.

    ***
    SUCH SPEAKS TO FUTILITY.

    ***
    NOW:

    CONFUSED BY INCOMPETENCE:

    IT APPEARS THAT THE ‘…GUYANA POLICE’ ARE ‘…CONFUSED BY INCOMPETENCE.’

    ***

    WHY…….?

    WHILE NOTHING SHALL BE ‘…RULED OUT,’ ANY ‘…VICTIM OF DROWNING (Cause of Death), MAY NOT NECESSARILY HAVE:

    (a) ‘…VISIBLE BODILY MARKS OF VIOLENCE:

    (b) …NOT NECESSARILY REQUIRE TOXICOLOGY TESTING:

    (C) …DNA TESTING:

    (d) …SEXUAL ASSAULT:

    (e) …RESTRAINT:

    (f) …STRUGGLE:

    (g) …REMOVAL/RETURN OF BODY.’

    THESE ARE MERELY:

    (i) …SIDE AND DETRACTABLE ISSUES.’

    ***
    THESE ARE, AS A MATTER OF FACT, UNASSOCIATED WITH DROWNING:

    ***
    NOW:

    NO MATTER HOW INEFFICIENT OR INCOMPETENT, A PATHOLOGIST WOULD KNOW IF A DECEASED PERSON:

    (i) ‘…WHETHER VICTIM WENT IN-VOLUNTARY: or

    (ii) …THROWN INTO WATER ALIVE:’ the Pathologist would know.

    ***
    IF ALIVE:

    THEN ‘…WATER’ SHOULD BE FOUND IN THE LUNGS.

    THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE DECEASED HAD ‘…INHALED WATER’ WHILE HEAD SUBMERGED:

    ***

    FACTUAL EXPERIENCE: …WATER/SAND

    ***

    IT HAS BEEN THE EXPERIENCE WITH:

    ‘…DECEASED SYLVIA TOUSSAINT (Bolans Resident-1999) WHO WAS:

    (i) ‘…MURDERED BY HUSBAND: and

    (ii) …BURIED PARTIALLY ALIVE AT VALLEY CHURCH BEACH’ [May 16, 1999].

    EXHUMATION OF BODY

    BODY WAS ‘EXHUMED’ FROM THE MAKESHIFT BEACH GRAVE.

    ***

    PATHOLOGIST CONFIRMED THAT WHEN SHE WAS ‘…BURIED,’ SHE HAD THE ‘…BREATH OF LIFE.’

    ***

    THAT WHICH THE ‘…GUYANESE POLICE’ MAY HAVE BEEN FOCUSING ON, ARE:

    (i) ‘…JUST WHAT AN 11-YEAR-OLD FEMALE CHILD WAS DOING AT THE HOTEL:

    (ii) …UPON WHOSE INVITATION: or

    (iii) …ACCOMPANIMENT/ESCORTED/TOOK HER TO THE ‘…POOL OFM DEATH:

    (iv) …IN WHOSE CUSTODY: or

    (v) IN WHOSE CARE AND PROTECTION WAS SHE?’

    ***
    (vi) …ANSWERS MAY HELP IN DETERMINING WHO MIGHT BE FOUND ‘…CRIMINALLY GUILTY FOR POSSIBLE ‘…CULPABLE NEGLIGENCE.’

    ***
    MUCH TO BE DESIRED FROM ‘CRIMINAL INVESTIGATORS.
