As a result of the fall, the man reportedly sustained critical injuries and was then rushed to Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital in an alleged semi-conscious state, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

According to sources, Richards was at the home of a friend preparing food on a porch after the two had been imbibing during an afternoon of socialising.

Richards reportedly stumbled and fell from the porch and, as a result, he sustained the critical injuries to his body including injuries to his ribs and head.

Commenting on the tragic news was Deputy Premier and Minister for Education, Culture, Youth Affairs, Fisheries and Agriculture who recalled the now dead man as a close cousin and strong supporter.

“What a sad day for me. What a sad, sad day. G-Money was a close cousin, strong supporter, and good friend. He was a real Long Look man. He was a hard worker. He was a pleasant natured person.”
