KINGSTON, Jamaica — An elderly man and a middle-aged woman were today rushed to hospital after they were found naked and unconscious in a gully that runs close to a section of Dunrobin Close in Kingston 10.

It is unclear how the couple ended up in the gully, but residents from the area are speculating that the two are homeless.

"It looks as if they were washed away from where they were staying by heavy rains," said one man who claimed to be an eyewitness when the two were found.

Police with the assistance of the fire brigade were able to remove the two people from the gully.
