In a tragic discovery, the decomposed remains of a man believed to be mentally challenged were found in an overgrown area of George Reid, Manchester, on Monday. The body is suspected to be that of Marlon Corinthian, a 46-year-old resident who was last seen on September 20. Concerned family members had filed a missing person’s report on September 27 after growing anxious about his disappearance. The grim find was made when residents, alerted by a foul odor, searched the area. A local woman recounted how a man from the community used a machete to clear the bushes, uncovering a part of a foot. Police were immediately notified. The woman, who identified herself as Corinthian’s friend, expressed her sorrow, stating that she last saw him nine days ago. She speculated that Corinthian, who often foraged for herbs to make tea, might have fallen into a ditch and become trapped. ‘He had a mental problem, but everyone loved him. I don’t think anyone would harm him,’ she added. A relative revealed that Corinthian was a mental health patient and had been missing from his usual spots, including the Mandeville Regional Hospital. Firefighters assisted in removing the body, with onlookers using masks and fabric to shield themselves from the stench. The community mourns the loss of a man described as kind and well-loved.
