Just after 5PM on Tuesday 23 April, police and other emergency service were dispatched by the 9-1-1 Communications Centre to a report of a medical emergency that was taking place at the Royal Watler Terminal, in George Town.

It was reported that a fishing vessel made a stop in George Town at the terminal at which time one of the men on board the vessel began experiencing difficulties and collapsed on the boat. He was seen by a member of the Port Authority Staff who assisted with first aid until the arrival of the ambulance who took charge of the man and transported him to the hospital where he was later pronounced deceased by the attending doctor.

The deceased Gregg Sowder, age 64, was an American citizen travelling from Panama through the Cayman Islands.  The RCIPS expresses condolences to his family.
