Body found near Oil Nut Bay identified as J’can resort worker

The following is a media release from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF).

Police can now release the name of the deceased whose body was found on the rocks close to the shoreline at Oil Nut Bay.

The body of Jamaica national Howard Walker, 53, a maintenance worker and landscaper at Oil Nut Bay, was met lying on nearby rocks, a few feet away from the bay.

Initial reports indicated that Walker ended his day on Saturday around 4:30 pm and went fishing on the other side of the island.

Employees of the resort became concerned when he did not show up to work the next morning and could not be reached by phone.

One employee’s search of the area uncovered the body lying on the rocks and unreachable by land. Virgin Islands Search and Rescue personnel retrieved the body.

Fishing gear along with a bucket of fish were found in the area.

He was pronounced dead at around noon. Investigations are ongoing in the matter.
