Sudden Death

At 12:04pm on Wednesday, Police responded to a report of a sudden death that took place at a residence on South Road in Paget. Police initially received information that a 61 year old man had not been seen for a few days; this with other factors caused Police to gain entry into his home where they found the body of 61 year old Harold Davis of Paget in a non responsive state.

Preliminary reports do not suggest there were any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Davis. The Bermuda Police Service extends our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
