Both incidents are under investigation, WIC News understands.One man, who described himself as a friend of the deceased, said: “We keep asking the question ‘why?’ but I do not think we can answer that.”
Dominic Jeremiah, principal of the PBC, is quoted by the Grenada Informer as saying the death was not only a loss to his immediate family but also to the entire college fraternity.
