Police and Friends at the home of Delroy Victor
Victor was just released from the hospital after allegedly ingesting poison yesterday.
Friends of Delroy Victor having a discussion
His best friend and coworker Trevon told Antigua.news that he cannot figure out what could have caused him to take his life.
“He always pushes us, he was our mentor, he was a motivator. I didn’t see him for a few days, but I wasn’t worried because he does a lot of farming all over” he said
Villagers Discussing Outside Delroy’s Home
Victor is a household name in his community and several people we interviewed said he was a well-loved individual who never found himself in trouble.
So ummm… nobody gonna talk about how they sent a suicidal person home???
He ingested poison yesterday and is home today hmmmmm
This!!! IRRESPONSIBLE!!!
You never know what people are going thru secretly. They maybe scared to talk because if our culture of chatting people business.
But if someone attempts suicide and fail shouldn’t they be charged with attempted murder? Just asking for myself
Sad story. Good job antigua.news. go out there like real.people and report the story. No carbon copy
Shout of to a special news room who is even stealing Antigua.News commenters names
Well Graham you’d be shocked to know they are even stealing comments and commenters names from under here too. imagine writing your story and your readers are commenting for another news room. Justice for Antigua.news and codolences to the family of Delroy. A.N forever fan signing off. Tell the browne skin reporter his admirer was here.
So what caused him to do this twice, getting through the second time, unfortunately. My condolences goes out to his love ones family and friends and so young at.. On another note.. you can’t stop ANTIGUA NEWS cause we are originallll.
wow, what a shame
lemme touch on how a person who tried to harm himself a day before out home alone the very next day. condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Victor. It would’ve been better to hear his cry and not feel his absence.
Condolences to the family and friends. i think everyone will be baffled by the fact that SLBMC sent home a suicidal patient a day after he tried to harm himself. Also why would the family leave him unattended
Dear Delroy, I click on the news daily reading things about the world. who would’ve known that today i would’ve been reading about you. I grabbed my phone the moment i heard a coworker saying “they found some man by the name of Delroy Victor hanging”, the moment i was over with reading, my eyes filled water and i was asking God to let it be another person or a fake identity. i got the call of confirmation, that you will no longer be here with me. I spoke with you yesterday and you told me that you never knew it was poison. Delroy why didn’t you just speak with me and tell me what’s on your mind. i miss you so much and i have to live with you not coming back to me. Please delroy, wake me up from this nightmare. i can’t catch myself. i write with my eyes filled water, and still i cant believe. SIP Delroy, I LOVE YOU
🥺😭 try to be strong, Bro
Wow. This is a shock. Sometimes people who are quiet and focus on no one are the same ones that need everyone. So sad to be reading this
This is really sad if it’s mental health problems we need to check on one and other these days mental health is a big problem nowadays rip to him
The system keeps failing the vulnerable.
Such a young soul lost. I hope he made peace with God. I am sad when i read stories like these and see people take their own lives. Someone else died for us. Why is the only question
The system failed this young man and so did his so called friends and family. How in the h*ll does a hospital send a suicidal patient home? Even if he said he was not aware that what he had injested was poisonous any caring medical professional worth their salt would have been suspicious and would have at least o served him in hospital overnight. But maybe there aren’t a y caring professionals left in the medical field. Where were his ” friends” and family? Were they not aware of his visit to the hospital? Why did not one of them stay with him for at least the rest of the day post discharge and all night? We have got to do better. Let’sook out for each other man. Damn!
