The nude body of a man found floating at Cap-de-Ville beach on Sunday has been identified as psychiatric patient Kevin John. Police said John, 29, of Baptiste Road, Point Fortin, was identified by his fingerprints yesterday. It was confirmed by his mother, Margaret John-Springlers, who told police he was an outpatient of the Psychiatric Ward of the San Fernando General Hospital.
Police said there was no missing person’s report for John as they were told it was customary for him to wander off and come back after weeks. A preliminary examination of the body could not suggest a cause of death and police will have to await an autopsy today.
