An unidentified man died Monday morning at a National Community Enhancement programme briefing, despite efforts to help him.
The Ministry of Planning, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure announced his passing in a press release this afternoon.
“The gentleman, whose identity will remain confidential pending family notification, tragically collapsed during the session,” the ministry said in the press release.
Supervisors followed emergency protocols, calling emergency services and administering CPR until they arrived.
“Despite these efforts, the individual passed away shortly after their arrival,” the ministry said.
The ministry extended its sympathies to the family, requesting that the public respect their privacy at this time. It also pledged to fully review the incident in the interest of ensuring all programme environments are “safe and supportive for all participants”.
The NiCE programme has three goals – to beautify parks, to transform beaches by cleaning up shorelines, and to remove litter from roadsides.
