The Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) has launched an active investigation into the unexplained death of 66-year-old Melva Wharwood, whose body was discovered in the St Andrew parish community of Mirabeau earlier this month. According to official details released by the Office of the Commissioner of Police, law enforcement officers received an anonymous tip relating to the incident on Sunday, 3 May 2026. Acting on the provided intelligence, officers were immediately dispatched to the Mirabeau area, where they located Wharwood’s unresponsive body on open ground. Once at the scene, a licensed medical professional conducted an on-site examination of the remains and formally pronounced Wharwood dead at the location. To advance the ongoing probe, law enforcement officials are issuing a public appeal for community assistance. Any member of the public who holds even minor information that could help investigators piece together the circumstances surrounding Wharwood’s death is strongly encouraged to reach out to authorities. Tips can be submitted directly to the Criminal Investigation Department via the dedicated phone line 440-3921, the Grenville Police Station at 442-7224, the national 911 emergency police line, or any closest local police precinct. All reports can be made anonymously, and law enforcement has confirmed that any incoming information will be handled with strict confidentiality as the investigation progresses. In a formal statement following the discovery, the Commissioner of the RGPF and all serving members of the force extended their sincere condolences to Wharwood’s family, friends, and loved ones as they navigate this devastating loss.
