Family urges Grenada to work with UK police on Andrew Frederick's death

The family of Andrew Frederick, a 47‑year‑old British man found dead in Grenada on 4 January, has urged local authorities to cooperate with UK police to determine the circumstances of his death.

Frederick’s body was located at the property he was staying at. A privately hired pathologist performed an autopsy that same week and concluded the death was a homicide. However, Grenadian prosecutor Howard Pinnock said in June that no evidence supported a homicide and the case would be sent to a coroner.

After the family’s persistent campaign, British authorities became involved and the body was repatriated to the UK, where a second autopsy was carried out. The UK coroner noted that Frederick’s organs were missing and the death remains unascertained.

At the start of an inquest at West London coroner’s court, senior coroner Lydia Brown announced the Metropolitan Police were now investigating the case. The inquest was suspended pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.

In a statement to the Guardian, the family called on Grenada and the UK to collaborate, noting that Andrew was a deeply loved family member and that justice depends on joint action. They also highlighted the need for answers about the missing organs and the lack of support they received, urging the Grenadian authorities to share information with the Met and to move the investigation forward without delay.
