NYPD Officer Roxroy Bucknor Found Dead in Pool at Father's Home in Montego Bay, Jamaica

SHOCK: NYPD officer, Roxroy Bucknor, who migrated from Jamaica 25 years ago, was found dead in the pool at his father's home in Montego Bay, Jamaica. According to the Jamaica Observer, no foul play is suspected in the officer's death but they are unable to say what caused his death and an autopsy will be performed later this week.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) in charge of the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) Elan Powell told the Observer in a telephone interview, Bucknor and other members of his family were at the poolside at his father's house having fun, after which they all returned to the house. It was later discovered that the cop was not inside and a search was launched. He, however, was not found.

The Montego Bay police, who were subsequently called, also conducted a search which also proved futile. They returned to the area after being informed that a body was spotted in the water. "(Yesterday) the police went back there after the body was seen floating in a pool in the yard," ACP Powell told the Observer.

He added: "The water in the pool is very murky and so the visibility was poor." Relatives and friends gathered at the scene were dumbfounded. They watched as members of the St James Fire Brigade fished the cop's body from the pool. Source

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Officer Bucknor. It's hard enough to accept the death of a loved one when it is expected, but quite shocking when death occurs suddenly. I am just a little confused as to how murky the water could be in the pool? Ironshore is an upscale community in Montego Bay, so I can't see the father not maintaining his pool better. There are more questions than answers. Was this a suicide, a murder or he had some medical difficulties such as a heart attack or an embolism? Still, it's amazing how this hasn't made the New York Post or New York Daily News.
