THE MONTEGO Bay police are investigating the death of Jeffrey Roach, businessman and former Member of Parliament (MP) for East Central St. James whose body was found yesterday morning with a gunshot wound to the head, in Mooreland Farms, St. James.
Family members reportedly became concerned when the 64-year-old former Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) MP failed to return to his home in Irwindale the previous night.
During a search, his body was found in bushes at 10:00 a.m. in Mooreland Farms, where he normally shoots birds. He suffered from a gunshot wound which entered his mouth and exited the back of his head. Mr. Roach's licensed .38 calibre revolver was found in his hand.
A bottle of rum was found beside his body.
