A fam­i­ly from St John Road, Broth­er’s Road, Rio Claro, re­turned from church on Fri­day morn­ing to find 22-year-old Isa­iah Bi­nasarie dead.

Po­lice be­lieve Bi­nasarie took his own life us­ing his fa­ther’s li­cenced shot­gun.

Po­lice said around 6.45 am on Fri­day, Bi­nasarie ar­gued with a rel­a­tive af­ter be­ing de­nied mon­ey to at­tend an event.

The dis­agree­ment es­ca­lat­ed when the rel­a­tive al­so stopped him from leav­ing the house.

An hour lat­er, around 7.45 am, oth­er fam­i­ly mem­bers left home for church, leav­ing Bi­nasarie alone.

When they re­turned around 11.45 am, his sis­ter went to check on him.

Po­lice said she found him un­re­spon­sive, seat­ed in a chair in his bed­room with blood com­ing from his mouth and a Rem­ing­ton 11-87 twelve-gauge shot­gun near­by.

They con­tact­ed the po­lice, and of­fi­cers vis­it­ed the scene.

The Dis­trict Med­ical Of­fi­cer ar­rived and de­clared him dead.

His body was tak­en to the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre in St James, where an au­top­sy will be per­formed.

Po­lice have launched an in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to the in­ci­dent.
