Doctor disappears at Kaieteur Falls

Police and officials of the Ogle Airport and Air Services Limited were up to late last night trying to ascertain the whereabouts of a passenger who disappeared after touring the Kaieteur Falls yesterday.
This newspaper was reliably informed that the Air Services Limited aircraft returned yesterday with one fewer person than it transported to the world famous waterfalls.
A source at the Ogle Airport told this newspaper last night that the aircraft left the city around midday with nine passengers for a tour of the Kaieteur Falls.
Among them was a female environmental doctor who was scheduled to leave for Miami today.
People on the flight said that the woman was seen crying into a phone while on the plane.
When the aircraft landed at the falls the woman appeared to brighten.
Air Services Limited transported two groups of tourists to the Kaieteur Falls. A spokesperson said that while the pilots were on the ground no other aircraft landed or left. This meant that the woman could not have left the area by mistake.
The woman was discovered missing when the tour guide was distributing chits to the passengers for snacks, at the Kaieteur airstrip before they boarded the aircraft back to Ogle.
One of her colleagues on the trip said that the missing woman was with the party when it was returning along the trail from the falls

another one jumps

The Ministry of Tourism has announced that a decision has been taken to no long allow visitors to the Kaieteur Falls to go to the viewing point at the edge of the waterfalls.
The decision was taken in light of Saturday’s suicide by a 21-year-old young woman who jumped to hear death from the edge of the falls.
Additionally, the Tourism Ministry has also made a decision to add restrictions to a number of viewing points at the falls.
Today, a team from the Guyana Police Force and the Guyana Defence Force are expected to head back to the area in an attempt to locate the body of Roshinee Pagwah who leaped to her death over the falls.
The young woman’s body was initially spotted at the bottom of the waterfalls on Saturday moments after she ran and jumped over, but the body eventually vanished beneath the tumbling water from the falls.
The Ministry of Tourism  said the pool at the base of the Falls is being monitored for signs of the body, while preparations have commenced to secure and extract the body, once it becomes visible.
