KINGSTON, Jamaica — In the wake of a deadly garage explosion that rocked central Kingston earlier this week, the third injured survivor has been transported overseas for advanced medical treatment, with his steadfast spouse by his side, who has committed to standing by him through every step of his long recovery.
Fabian Brown, an account manager employed by Beryllium Limited, was loaded onto an air ambulance at Norman Manley International Airport on Friday and flown to Atlanta, Georgia, where he will access specialized care for critical burn injuries sustained in the blast. The explosion occurred at a small garage located on South Camp Road, directly adjacent to the security-focused headquarters of Beryllium Limited, leaving four men wounded overall.
As medical personnel carried Brown on a stretcher to the waiting aircraft, his wife Myesha never left his side, offering constant emotional and physical support. In a brief interview with reporters on the tarmac, she made clear her unwavering commitment to her husband’s recovery: “I will be by his side right through, I am not going anywhere.”
Myesha shared that Brown suffered extensive full-body burns in the incident, and that he remained in severe agony during her recent visit to the local Jamaican hospital where he was initially stabilized. “He was speaking, so that was a good sign, but he was in a lot of pain and the burns to the body is severe,” she explained.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Myesha expressed sincere gratitude to the Guardsman Group, Beryllium’s parent company, for its rapid coordination to secure urgent, life-saving care for all four blast victims. “Hats off to the Guardsman team,” she said. “I was impressed at how fast they responded… I am very appreciative of that.”
Two other injured men from the blast were transported to the United States for specialized treatment earlier this week, while a fourth victim has already succumbed to critical injuries sustained in the explosion. Local authorities have not yet released additional details on the exact cause of the blast.
