Distinguished Professor died as a result of Melissa
https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20251101/distinguished-scholar-dr-christopher-charles-has-died-pnp-says-jamaica-hasChris was found dead yesterday, when neighbours called the police after not seeing him since Tuesday. No doubt he could not seek medical help - his home was not in a devastated parish. He complained of not feeling well on Tuesday. This is so effed up. He was 61.

From your post it sounds like you knew him. My condolences to you and Jamaica.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
