Bodies discovered around Cayman Islands on 25 August 2015 Identified
The bodies, both male, discovered onboard a fishing boat by a Police vessel near Little Cayman on 25 August 2015, have been identified. The identities are as follows:
Eduard Eugenio TAVERAS TORIBIO, age 37
Manuel HENRIQUEZ, age 58
Both men were nationals of the Dominican Republic.
A post mortem was performed on both bodies. Due to the condition of the bodies, the cause of death for each man could not be determined. However, the post mortems did determine that there were no signs of violence.
It was established that the men were living and working in Jamaica as fishermen and had gone out on a fishing trip. It is likely that they had engine failure and their boat drifted until the Police vessel came across it.
Identification was established through DNA. Police undertook extensive efforts to facilitate this identification, which included travel to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, and a lengthy search for possible family members.
