PROMINENT MONTEGO Bay hotelier and businessman, Godfrey Dyer, has been released from a United States hospital where he was taken after being severely injured in a freak accident in July.
Mr. Dyer was badly burned when an industrial gas stove exploded at a resort he was operating at Rose Hall in Montego Bay, St. James.
Mr. Dyer, a two-time past president of the Jamaica Hotel And Tourist Association (JHTA), spent 10 weeks at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida.
In a statement yesterday, the former JHTA head said he had been "recuperating satisfactorily" and receiving daily therapy in Montego Bay. He is to return to Miami in two weeks for further surgery.
ANOTHER RECOVERED FULLY
Mr. Dyer said one of two female employees also injured in the blast at the Wexford Suites at Sea Castles Resort, has recovered fully while the other is to be released from hospital soon.
The two women are dining room supervisor, Ann Marie Grooves, and Nadine Street, the resident manager at the Wexford Hotel.
The hotelier said Ms. Street, who has fully recovered, has resumed work while Ms. Grooves, who was the most seriously injured of the three, with burns to 70 per cent of her body, is due to be released shortly from Montego Bay's Cornwall Regional Hospital.
"Although I am on the mend, I have not fully recovered," Mr. Dyer said in a statement. "The worst is past, however, and I am gradually getting back together."
