A call has been made for a police investigation after one hunter died and four were hospitalized after drinking coffee at their camp in Ecclesville.

The Hunters Search and Rescue Team says hunters usually leave unused groceries like coffee, sugar, salt and drinking water at their camps to be used on their next hunting trip.

It adds that this incident last Saturday, which claimed the life of Vishnu Dipchand, is “the first incident of this type in the history of the hunting fraternity.”

The Team says it hopes that the T&T Police Service will look into the incident.

The four other hunters who were hospitalized have all since been discharged.
