PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad — Almost a month after the death of convicted felon, Kern Romero, the gay friend of Chief Justice Ivor Archie implicated in a public housing fraud scheme that he (Romero) was convicted of in 2015, the conflicting reports as to how he died have apparently been put to rest.
The Trinidad Guardian’s digital editor, Sampson Nanton, told Caribbean News Now that he spoke directly with family members of Romero, who confirmed that Romero did in fact die in hospital on Friday, May 25, and was not found shot in the head in the Arima village of Congo on the following day as reported initially.
The initial confusion over the exact cause of death is now said to be as a result of confusion over two bodies, one of which — the body of the person found shot dead in Arima — was unidentified but nevertheless became linked to Romero.
No autopsy or police report on the unidentified man has been made public to date as far as Caribbean News Now is aware.
The autopsy report of Romero is also not available. However, Nanton confirmed that the family states that he died after a lengthy illness at hospital.
The importance of the exact cause of death of Romero, if by murder or assassination, was viewed in the context of controversial allegations of an assassination attempt of another close friend of Archie, Dillian Johnson, who it has been alleged by the Trinidad and Tobago Law Association (LATT) that Archie had business links with.
