Philipsburg: --- The detective department is calling on anyone especially relatives of a man who has been identified as Kevin Duggan Woods, born in Nevada U.S.A. on April 10th 1978 to visit the Philipsburg Police Station to claim and identify his body.Police discovered Woods body shortly after 02.00 am on Monday morning on Amarrilys Road Mary's Fancy.
Police Spokesman Ricardo Henson said police received several phone calls from residents of the area who said they heard someone in the bushes calling out for help. Henson said according to the residents the man was calling for help but no one was able to see him since he was in the bushes and apparently was moving downward in the bushy area.
The police spokesman said when police reached the scene they heard movement in the bushes but they too could not see the person due to the darkness and heavy rain that was pouring at the time.
Henson said the fire department was called to give assistance and they managed to cut open a track where the man's lifeless body was found. Henson said when the body was recovered he had minor scratches and bruises which he probably got while moving in the bushes. Henson said the body was taken out of the bushes and brought to a nearby yard where paramedics tried to revive the victim to no avail. He said the man was pronounced dead shortly after but the cause of death was not determined. Henson further explained that the man seems to die suspiciously and his body has since been confiscated as the investigations continue.
Henson said at daybreak on Monday police and K-9 officers conducted an intense search of the area. During this search a small amount of cash, a VISA credit card and an American drivers license of the victim were found and confiscated
The investigation into this case has just started and any family member or anyone who knows the victim and who can identify him are asked to immediately get in contact with the detective dept. at Telephone phone 54-22222 ext. 225/222/ 224.
