Former Police Officer Found Dead in Fefe’s Bar.

Pond Island:--- A former police officer Julius "Junior" Hyman son of "Fefe" (Albert Hyman) was found dead in his room on Friday afternoon. Police and ambulance personnel were seen at the scene on Friday evening. Preliminary reports state the man died of natural causes but the police and forensic department are busy trying to confirm if the death was indeed of natural causes. SMN News learnt that the former officer was an epileptic patient and it appears as though he died after having an attack sometime Friday. Police Spokesman Ricardo Henson said the police doctor declared that Hyman died of natural causes. Henson said so far there is no sign of any criminal activities and as such his death has saddened his former colleagues. The Police Spokesman said the Police Department will be contacting his relatives and they will offer whatever assistance they could to the bereaved family of Julius "Junior" Hyman.
The former cop was discharged from the police force some ten or more years ago when he shot himself in his leg with his service revolver. An investigation conducted by police internal affairs showed that the cop had fallen in love with one of the exotic dancers at the club and he threatened to commit suicide when his lover threatened to end the relationship. Hyman has since been working at his father's club where he managed the bar. Julius was one of the local police officers who received the highest grades when he wrote the police examinations but he broke one of the police codes of ethics when he got himself involved with one of the dancers at his father's club.
