POLICE are awaiting an autopsy to find out what killed retired Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Rodwell Murray who died suddenly while at a guest house in Mount Lambert on Tuesday night. However, police sources say they believe Murray may have suffered a massive heart attack while in the company of a female friend.
According to a police report, at about 9.30 pm, Murray, 72, of Grace Gardens in Santa Cruz went to a guest house at Irvin Street with a 49-year-old woman. Police said that a short time later, Murray told his companion that he was not feeling well and collapsed suddenly. He died at the scene.
A party of officers visited the scene along with the District Medical Officer who ordered the body removed to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in Mount Hope.
An investigating officer yesterday told Newsday that while they believe Murray suffered a massive heart attack they are still awaiting the result of an autopsy.
In 1992, Murray publicly disclosed the existence of a drug cartel within the police service, which prompted then Prime Minister Patrick Manning to call in the British Scotland yard officers to investigate. Murray’s allegation was subsequently laid in the House of Representatives.
