Things nuh regulah! Lorri Alexander passes away!


Lorri Alexander

Journalist, commentator and well-known personality Lorri Alexander died yesterday afternoon at the St Joseph Mercy Hospital after being in a coma for the past two weeks.

His wife of over 19 years, Paula Alexander, last evening told Stabroek News that her 73-year-old husband died very peacefully at around 2:15 pm. In recent years he was well known for the Miss African Heritage pageants he organised and the cultural event at Parliament to commemorate Emancipation.

His wife said that about a year ago he fell and hit his head and he never really recovered. For years he had been suffering from diabetes but late last year it really took a toll on him. Three months ago he suffered a stroke and it was exactly two weeks yesterday that he fell into a coma and was admitted to the hospital. He never regained consciousness.
