According to Inspector Walter Evans, press liaison officer for the Royal Bahamas Police Force, on Tuesday afternoon two men set off on a vessel near Montagu but returned soon after when one of them began experiencing “difficulties.”<\/p>\n
“[During] the fishing trip one of the persons experienced some difficulties,” said Insp Evans. “One of the men was brought to shore in a lifeless state.”<\/p>\n
Up to press time yesterday, the name of the victim was not released but Insp. Evans said that the man is believed to be in his early 40’s and a resident of the eastern area of New Providence. <\/p>\n
“There were no signs of physical injuries,” police said.<\/p>\n
“After the police’s initial examination, we do not suspect foul play,” said Insp Evans. “An autopsy has to be performed to determine the exact cause of death.”<\/p>\n

* Police are still investigating the late night robbery of a Quick Cell booth, located on C W Saunders Highway, that took place on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n
Two employees of the booth were held up at gunpoint by a “dark male” wearing a white cap, according to Insp Evans.”Upon approaching the booth he pulled up his shirt and produced a handgun. As a result of that, he escaped with a small quantity of cash and several phone cards,” said the officer. The robber fled the scene on foot and was last seen heading north.<\/p>\n
Investigations are continuing into both matters.<\/p>\n
