Thursday, December 29, 2011



A 70-year-old man died after reportedly voting for the wrong candidate in Mullet Hall, West Portland this morning.

Sylvester Nugent, a farmer, collapsed about 10:15 after voting.

He was taken to the Annotto Bay Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Reports are that he went to the Avocot Primary and Junior High School, and after he voted there, came out and declared that he had “voted for the wrong person”, before collapsing.
