Ronald Raynor, a 55-year-old Pembroke resident, has lost his life in an unspecified incident in Jamaica, The Royal Gazette understands.

Mr Raynor divided his time between the island and Montego Bay, where the incident is believed to have occurred.

Further details were unavailable from Jamaican authorities.

Although the Bermuda Police Service has yet to release a name, a statement today said that the BPS was “aware of the death of a Bermudian man in Jamaica under suspicious circumstances”.

“A BPS family liaison officer has been assigned to the deceased’s family to assist during this difficult time.

“We are continuing to reach out to the Jamaican authorities for more information and to offer assistance as best we can.”
