Body of fisherman found

By KAVELLE ANGLIN-CHRISTIE, Staff Reporter

ANOTHER BODY, THAT of Larry Stewart, one of the men who attempted to help the family of four who drowned in St. Elizabeth on Saturday night, was found at 8 a.m. yesterday morning.

Divers and police had not given up their search to recover the bodies of Tyler Tamash Parchment, 4, Germaine Spooner, another good Samaritan, and that of Stewart, even after the bodies of Tyler's mother, Natanya "Marlene" Irving, and her five-month-old brother, Dante Elliot were found trapped in the car on Sunday morning.

Stewart, a fisherman, had been pushing the car Natanya and her children were in, when he and the other four were swept over a precipice by flood waters on Saturday night.

Natanya's father, Lennox Irving, says they have not given up their search and he is hoping the bodies of Tyler Tamash and her cousin Germaine will be found.
