SOURCE: demerarawaves- A retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) homicide investigator has been hired by the Guyana government to help probe the circumstances surrounding the death of 11-year-old Adriana Younge whose body was found in a hotel pool at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo on April 24, the Ministry of Home Affairs said on Thursday.
The Home Affairs Ministry said Mr. Leonard McCoshen, a trained and qualified homicide and suspicious death investigator, would be assisting in the investigation.
Government said Mr. McCoshen has over 30 years of experience as an investigator with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
He had spent 20 of those years attached to the Serious Crimes Branch (SCB) in the Major Crimes Unit (MCU), with the mandate to investigate serious, complex, and sensitive matters, mainly homicides and deaths where foul play was suspected.
He has successfully supervised and coordinated over 200 homicides, kidnappings, and other serious and complex investigations.
In this regard, Mr. McCoshen brings a wealth of training, qualifications, and experience to the ongoing investigation into the death of Adrianna Younge.
The Home Affairs Ministry said the decision to hire Mr McCoshen was in keeping with a promise of President Mohamed Irfaan Ali.
The legal representative of Younge’s family had called for American, British or Canadian investigators to assist with the probe as they had lost all confidence in the Guyana Police Force (GPF).
Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton had also formally requested that foreign investigators be called in to assist his proposed commission of inquiry into the death including the response of the GPF and whether it was politically influenced.
Earlier Thursday, the GPF released several preliminary findings of the post-mortem examination of Younge’s body:
- There was no evidence of sexual assault (her external genitalia were examined and found unremarkable with her hymen intact)
- Her soft tissues as well as skeletal structure were free of traumatic injury
- There was a residual cone of foam identified within her nostrils and oral cavity, which is often observed in cases of drowning (this finding dispels any contention that there was cotton wool in her nose)
- The skin changes observed were from prolonged immersion with ‘washerwoman’ changes noted on bilateral hands and soles (washerwoman changes are also consistent in cases of drowning)
- The skin was found to be intact and free from antemortem injuries (meaning that she did not receive any injuries to her body prior to her death)
- The sphenoid sinus was found to have approximately 1ml of liquid (this is the air space located in the brain consistent with drowning)
- Liquid was also found in the lungs of the deceased, which is consistent with drowning.
The GPF also said a comprehensive toxicological study of the blood and gastric contents is being conducted by the National Medical Services (NMS) Laboratories in the United States.
Also, police said tissue specimens are undergoing histological analysis by Mount Sinai’s board-certified forensic and diagnostic pathologists in the United States.
“The purpose of the post-mortem toxicology analysis is to detect, identify, and quantify drugs, alcohol, poisons, or other toxic substances present in the deceased’s body. This analysis helps determine whether any of these substances were present and, if so, whether they contributed to the death of the deceased,” the GPF said.
The Police Force also said water samples from the hotel pool have been sent to the United States for testing.

Meanwhile all we have gotten from the Chantel case,is that she was found dead.
Not even a cause of death has been given. Yep folks..This is your so-called economic powerhouse at work for its people.
Sad sad.
How did she get in the pool?
Did her family report her missing?
The father said they searched the pool and it was empty.she wasn’t there..
They checked the pool again, and then the body showed up.
This scenario makes no sense whatsoever.
The family needs to know what happened.
And justice needs to prevail.
Here we going again them idiots who go abroad and lost them moring always be the first to leave a comment and have the most to say about Chantel murder case. The murder was seen kidnapping the little girl. She took them to the body. She inna jail waiting trail but them thirsty mfs who ah look Spanish wife always wid them bullshit talk. There is really a special place in hell for that bish and you thirsty mfs
Burnham people harass the Indian man to bring in the Mounties.
During trial for the innocent Child Chantel.
Prosecutor: Chantel went missing and found dead, showed to us by Spanish girl, who was also seen with her before death.
Defense: How did she die?
Prosecutor: We do not know.
Defense: who or what killed chantel?
Prosecutor: We do not have any evidence there is a who or what that caused her death?
Judge: You do know before you bring charges you must prove a homicide exist? A homicide is the killing of one human by another human (s).
Judge: if you can not determine manner of death, then how on earth will you prove homicide and then prove whether it was a murder or manslaughter?
Prosecutor: Well, she was the last who ate KFC with the inocent child and gave her a ride?
Defense: I remember a case like this where the child died through an accident but the person was so nervous they would get into trouble she buried the child but in no way was responsible for the accident that caused the death. Most you can do is charged her with improperly handling or discarding a human body, but even that may not just in this case.
Prosecutor: but according to idiots who do not care about due process we should not protect the constitutional and human rights of any person who was last seen with the little baby innocent child especially because she is Spanish and they believe her kind is invading and taking over the country.
Judge: Prosecutor, are you are idiot too?
Prosecutor: in his or her mind thinking, I actually am and was placed here by politics.
Defense: Judge, dismiss this matter against my client, so we can proceed with a lawsuit to sue all dunces inches land.
Judge: My pleasure
Defense: I love that weird guy who blogs about fairness, justice, victimization (from person or government), he is amazing.
Other Judge in civil matter: Spanish lady you are awarded $25 million for your special and general damages because no matter how guilty you look, they should have had probable cause to do this to you and they did not. No reasonable inference could be made on who cause death if cause of death has not been determined. Judge said, base on this, it would also be reasonable to say she naturally died, more than she was killed, as no form of sign of death was discovered by experts at the time of plaintiff’s, formerly defendant’s, arrest and charge.
Spanish lady: Thank you weird guy. I am not longer safe in Antigua and going back to where I originate to spend these millions. Thank you for standing up for justice, even if it kills you.
Weird guy: I did not really do it for you but to protect the constitutional rights of all, even those of the idiots, corrupted politicians and killers.
God: My dude.
Well look at the idiot child killer supporter. He even had the nerves to say “God: my dude”.
This jackass don’t even know what is going on. Here ge is making assumptions based solely off hearsay and thinks this will be the conclusion of the case.
People like this jackass and that Spanish bish can’t see God face. There is a very special place in hell for them.
The police announced, “we have no clue what caused death”. The coroner announced, “I have no clue what caused death”. Even went on to say, we are sending blood samples overseas.
I want justice served for the Baby Chantel and for this to occur, constitutional rights must be preserved. Please remove these folks who constantly crucify and persecute but I promise when their day comes, I will be standing up for their constitutional right and that day will come.
