- Was reported missing since Monday
- McIntyre Bros. posted condolences on social media
Police have confirmed that a body was discovered in Grand Etang lake just after 10 am on Wednesday morning. The body was discovered almost 72 hours after the driver was described as missing. It’s understood a team of divers have been searching the lake since Monday, when 53-year-old Andy Jones went missing after driving into the water. Reports are that people present at the lake were unsuccessful in attempts to assist Jones after he swam out and disappeared underwater.
Shortly before midday today a posting on the Facebook page of McIntyre Bros where the driver was employed said, “It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Andrew Jones “Jonsey.” No other details were posted in the message.
The police, Jones’ family and employees of McIntyre Bros arrived on the scene. At around 12:22 pm a doctor arrived to pronounce Jones dead and Otway Bailey Funeral Home prepared to take the body away.
Police have not yet released details about the finding but it is expected an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
Our people are so ignorant about mental health which includes but not limited to depression and anxiety. Grenada need to put in place a hot line that it’s citizens can use without judgements. Andy is one too many. Many are suffering in silence and need not go through such unnecessary pain. Prime minister Keith Mitchell, you have to act now. Mental health sickness is a disease and it should be treated as such.
Rest easy Andy, you were a lovely guy. I’ll not forget those laughs we all had on your verandah in St. Pauls.. Condolences to your family.
