The arrow marks the spot where Darren Glasgow’s body was lodged.

Darren Glasgow (above) was not known, contrary to comments making the rounds, to be a drug user. by KENVILLE HORNE THE BODY THAT WASHED ashore at Sandy Bay beach last Tuesday has been identified as that of 16-year-old Darren Anthony Glasgow of Orange Hill. His body was identified by his father, Neil Cato, of the same address, after it was discovered by a Sandy Bay resident, who was making his way along the beach (a popular shortcut) to London. That man is reported to have said that he first noticed a body in the water but, given the usual rough waters at Sandy Bay, the body was quickly washed onto some rocks on the beach. When Cato visited THE VINCENTIAN on Wednesday, he told reporters that he had last seen and spoken with his son at around 5:10am on Sunday. Darren had come to borrow a cutlass. He was going to the mountain to tend the neighbour’s animal, but Cato himself was heading for the mountain that day and told his son he would have need for his cutlass, and advised him to use the neighbour’s. It was customary, Cato said, for his son “to

sleep over at his neighbor,” for whom he did some work.

The Ordeal When Cato returned from the mountain at about 11:00am, Sunday, Darren had not returned home. Cato inquired of the neighbour, for whom Darren worked, whether he had seen him. Anxiety set in when he replied he had not seen Darren since he left his home early that day. Cato set about making inquiries of other persons. One said that Darren was seen heading for the mountain between 7:00 and 8:00 that morning; another said he had seen Darren in Owia; yet another said Darren was spotted in Rabacca. Concern intensified, and Cato journeyed to Georgetown to make a report to the Police there. He also checked with the hospital. No one at the Police Station or the hospital could shed any light on Darren’s whereabouts. Continued on Page 3.

Right: Neil Cato, Darren’s father, was forthright and honest in speaking of the personal trials that his son endured.
