According to a resident of the community, the man – who has been identified only as Desmond – had been missing from Friday night.

The resident, who goes by the name Tina, said after the weekend passed without anyone hearing from Desmond, residents were about to file a missing person report when they discovered a wall had collapsed on a site they believe he was working at.

“We have an idea that he was working on a site, but we never know that it was here. So, this morning somebody come off the site and told us that Desmond…they find him underneath the rubble,” said Tina.

“He’s a very handy man innu. They call him ‘Hulk’. Everybody know him on the street. He’s very useful,” she added.

The Duhaney Park police recovered the body on Monday afternoon. The cause of the building’s collapse is yet to be revealed.
