The deceased has been identified as Tatium Bhajan, also known as ‘Mollie’, hailing from Number 57 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
Authorities suspect that Bhajan may have been working on his car at the time of the fire. It took firefighters approximately an hour to extinguish the flames, during which the garage collapsed.
An investigation into the cause of the fire is currently underway.
