Jet ski victim died of heart attack

A heart attack claimed the life of Boodhanie Heeralal, the 55-year-old grandmother who was struck by a jet ski in a Penal water park on Monday.

An autopsy report from the Forensics Sciences Centre where the post mortem was conducted on Heeralal’s body yesterday, stated the cause of death as mio-cardial infraction, atheroscleric coronary artery disease. The report also stated that there was blunt carnio cerebral traumatic injury (injury to the head) caused by unnatural circumstances. Heeralal, of Seurage Trace, Debe, died at the San Fernando General Hospital hours after the jet ski ploughed into her and her ten-year-old grand-daughter, Dianne Beepath.

The accident occurred at the Jovi’s Water Park at Well Road, Charlo Village, where Heeralal and her family went on an outing on Easter Monday. Police have questioned a 19-year-old man of Savonetta, who reportedly lost control while driving a Yamaha twin-carburettor Wave Runner that crashed into Heeralal and her grand-daughter. Cpl Minors of the Siparia CID is leading investigations. Heeralal is expected to be cremated today at the Shore of Peace, Mosquito Creek, following a service at her Debe home, from 11.30 am.
