The body of a man has been discovered in his St. Thomas home.

The deceased has been identified as 70 year Beverton Hinds, a Barbadian national who is said to have been resident in the US for many years but maintained a home at Spring Farm, St. Thomas.

He was believed to have been in preparation to return home permanently and recently arrived in the island.

He was last seen by neighbours yesterday doing various chores around the home and later retired to bed.

He was discovered dead this morning. No foul play is suspected
