Police are investigating the death of a 23-year-old Curepe man who they suspect drowned in a swimming pool on Monday night.

Police said they were called to Carter Lane, Curepe, at around 11.30 pm after a man was reportedly found lying unresponsive in a pool.

Officers went to the scene and found Ashwin Critchlow at the side of the pool.

A relative at the house told the police that he went to the pool at around 10.40 pm and saw Critchlow floating face-down.

The relative took him out and tried to resuscitate him but was unsuccessful.

Investigators said there appeared to be no marks of violence on the body.
