Antigua St John's - The police are investigating the death of a 64 year-old visitor from Germany at the Mount St John's Medical Center.
The man had reportedly been helping a friend aboard a yacht docked at Falmouth Harbour just before 11 am when he took ill and collapsed, and fell into the water.
The Antigua and Barbuda Search and Rescue Team was called in, and the man was retrieved and subsequently rushed to the hospital by Search and Rescue personnel.

If you read the statement very carefully you will see what I was referring to. I will try again. The article says (1) “The body has since been removed to the Barnes Funeral Home.” This indicates to me that the body is no longer at the hospital and that it is at the funeral home; and (2) “A post mortem will be conducted to determine the cause of death.” This indicates to me that a post mortem has not yet been conducted, although the body is at the funeral home.
Don’t get me wrong, but as I have said before your description is correct, but the writing may just be sloppy reporting. As It stands right now, I am confused because I do not know with any certitude, if the body is at the hospital awaiting a post mortem or it is at the funeral home and the post mortem has already been conducted and the cause of death has not been released.
If you can clarify, I would appreciate it
