POLICE are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of well-known Chaguanas attorney Victor Hosein whose body was found in the front passenger seat of his car parked in the carpark of a south shopping mall yesterday.

Hosein, police said, was discovered frothing at the mouth in his Toyota Camry car which was parked at Tropical Plaza in Pointe-a-Pierre. A shopper who observed Hosein’s body in the car made a report to the mall security and an EHS ambulance was summoned.

Hosein was rushed to the San Fernando General Hospital (SFGH) where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

A police report stated that at about 3 pm yesterday, officers at the Marabella Police Station received information about a man seated in a car who was frothing from the mouth.

Investigators said his wallet was missing and he was identified by officers by other documents found in the vehicle. Police officers arrived on the scene and cordoned off the area where the car was parked.

Relatives yesterday in-cluding his grieving wife Shaira gathered outside the SFGH.

She was too distraught to speak. A female relative told Newsday: “We don’t know what was responsible for his death.”

Officers of the Southern Homicide Bureau yesterday accompanied the body to the mortuary of the SFGH. Investigations are continuing. Police sources said they are not yet classifying the death as a case of suicide especially since Hosein’s wallet has not been accounted for. They are awaiting the results of an autopsy.
