SUSPECTED DROWNING: 30-year-old Keon Scott Found Dead in Barbuda

Published

The lifeless body of Keon Scott was discovered floating in the water near the Fisheries Wharf in Codrington, Barbuda, last night.

Tragically, he was pronounced dead by medical professionals in Barbuda at around 10:42 p.m. at the age of 30.

According to reliable sources, Scott and his friends were at a bar in Barbuda during the afternoon, and at some point, he went into the water on a surfboard.

The surfboard resurfaced, and later his lifeless body was found floating in the water. The police are currently investigating the matter.

During this difficult time, our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and loved ones.
