A 36-year-old cane-cutter succeeded “in his two-in-one” attempt to end his own life when he
The now dead, Mohamed Jameel Shakoor
attempted to hang himself from a mango tree at the back of his home on Thursday morning. He died at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) yesterday.
The man, Mohamed Jameel Shakoor who resided at Lot 48 Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara (WCD) with his parents and sister, is also believed to have gulped “some poisonous substance” before hanging himself.
The dead man’s sister, Bibi Halima Mohamed, told Kaieteur News that she was at home when she heard her brother shout out for her a few times and said “Babbo look your brother is gonna fly like a kite.”
She said she ignored him because he was under the influence of alcohol but after “the place became all silent I went at the back to see what happen and is then I see him hanging from the tree with a rope.”
Halima Mohamed said she cut the rope from the tree and ran around the yard, shouting for help. “The rope around his neck was tight; it was so tight that his skin was over the rope and I couldn’t cut it.”
She said after she did not receive any assistance, she herself cut the rope and rushed her brother to the Leonora Cottage Hospital, where he was immediately transferred to the Intensive Care Unit of the GPHC.
The 36-year-old man’s father, Mohamed Jameel Shakur claimed that the doctor at GPHC told him that his son had ingested “some poison substance before he hang heself because he was not responding to the treatments.”
Kaieteur News understands that Jameel Shakoor was not in any relationship but

he was previously married and had been separated for almost ten years now.
“Everything here was ok but I don’t know if he had any problem at work because he didn’t tell me anything. He was normal,” the sister claimed.
