The police are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of 40-year-old Gintaras Lokcikas, a national of the Republic of Lithuania.
His lifeless body was discovered along the shoreline of Mamora Bay shortly after 7 a.m. on Friday, 16 May. Mr. Lokcikas arrived in Antigua on Thursday, 8 May, and was staying at the St. James Club. He was scheduled to depart the island on Thursday, 15 May.
Arrangements are currently underway for a postmortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
The police have been in contact with relevant local and international authorities, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and representatives from the Lithuanian government to keep the informed of the investigation.
The Police Administration expresses sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Mr. Lokcikas during this difficult time.
Hope we can get to the bottom of this and we can find conclusive evidence.
Usually they have heart attacks and die. I’m sure no foul play suspected. But in Antigua on never knows
He had to leave on the 15th but was discovered dead on the 16th. I hope the man was not murdered. That would explain why he wasn’t on his departure flight
I’m trying to figure out, when did the question arise. And where was he on the 15th that he missed his flight.
Condolences to the family where ever they are. I hope it’s truly no foul play
Coming to the island on vacation and dying is not something that anyone should want to happen. I see it too often in the Caribbean. RIP sir
