Body sighted in Petrotrin tank

However, a media release last evening from Petrotrin stated that a body - believed to be that of Pierre - was sighted in the tank which is still being emptied to effect retrieval of the corpse. It has been five days since Petrotrin personnel began their recovery efforts at Petrotrin Tank Farm, Trinmar Operations in Point Fortin.

The wash tank is said to contain just over 20,000 barrels of oil and up to yesterday it was still being emptied in search of Pierre who has not been seen since Saturday when he climbed the tank.  The contents of the tank are oil water and sand. On Saturday morning, it was reported that Pierre who relatives said was mentally ill, breached Petrotrin’s security, climbing the 120 foot tank and threatened to jump.
