The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF) says it has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of an adult male discovered in Brighton on March 5, 2025.

“At approximately 3:15 p.m. on March 5, 2025, police were alerted by a resident of Brighton to the discovery of Junior Morgan, a 71-year-old resident of the community. Upon arrival, officers found Morgan’s partially decomposed body hanging from a rope in the living room of his home,” the RSVGPF says in a March 6 press release.

The District Medical Officer (DMO) attended the scene and officially pronounced Morgan deceased, police say.

A post-mortem examination will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death.

The investigation is ongoing, and the RSVGPF says it urges anyone with relevant information to come forward.
