A 24-year-old labourer died Tuesday morning after being crushed when a brick wall collapsed, police say.
Kelvin Richards of Montaque, Mesopotamia died on the scene of the incident in Evesham about 10:20 a.m.
“Information received indicates that a retaining wall fell on Richards, while he and another labourer, Alvin John, of the same address, were digging a trench to build a wall to reinforce an existing wall that barricades a private property in Evesham,” the police public relations department said.
Dr. Sin Adams, the District Medical Officer responded and pronounced the body dead at 11:06 a.m.
