Adrian Brown
Claxton Bay father, Jason Brown, abandoned his vehicle on High Street, ran through traffic to get to the San Fernando General Hospital as he clutched his three-year-old son, Adrian, in his arms on Wednesday. The pre-schooler was fighting for his life after being stung by a scorpion at his home on Macaulay Road, Claxton Bay. However, Brown’s efforts to save his son proved futile as doctors were unable to resuscitate him. Little Adrian, who attended Hope Pre-school, Bandoo Trace, Claxton Bay, would have turned four next Wednesday. Brown, who was unable to contain his emotions yesterday during an interview, said: “I don’t have a reason to live anymore. What is the sense?” Adrian was his first child. Brown also has a one-year-old daughter, Angelina.
He said around 3 pm Adrian was at home with his mother, Melifia Quashie-Brown, in the family’s kitchen. “He started to cry and Melly watch and she see the scorpion run by the fridge and start to scream,” he said. Brown said the scorpion was killed after which Adrian was rushed to hospital. With tears in his eyes Brown recounted his desperate attempt to get his son to the hospital for treatment. He said: “I tried to save him. I tried to save him. I drove like a madman to get to San Fernando. Is a wonder I did not h it anybody. It had so much traffic when I was going.” Brown said he jumped out of his van and ran from High Street to Penitence Street to get to the hospital. “When we going he vomit about 20 times in the van,” Brown said. Funeral arrangements are yet to be finalised.
