Family Seeks Second Autopsy After Guyana Police Confirm Drowning in Death of 11-Year-Old Adriana Younge

The Guyana Police Force has confirmed that 11-year-old Adriana Younge died from drowning, according to the final post-mortem report conducted by three international pathologists.

Police stated that the examination found no signs of foul play. However, the circumstances of the incident have sparked concern in the community and among Younge’s family, who remain unconvinced by the initial findings.

Adriana was found unresponsive in the swimming pool of the Double Day International Hotel on 24 April 2025. Pathologists concluded she likely sank to the bottom of the pool and later resurfaced due to natural decomposition—an occurrence not uncommon in tropical climates.

Despite the official ruling, her family continues to question the circumstances surrounding her death. Her body was flown to the United States on Monday for an independent autopsy.

“We just want to understand what truly happened that day,” a family representative said.

As investigations continue, the tragedy has renewed calls for stricter safety protocols at public swimming facilities. Authorities say they are committed to supporting the family’s efforts to seek clarity and closure.
