Employee's death 'a blow' to hospital

The murder of a long-time Doctors Hospital employee was a blow to the hospital's staff, according to CEO Charles Sealy.
Kevin Major was shot and killed in front of his home off Cowpen Road on Monday night, police said.
Major, the coordinator of materials management at Doctors Hospital, died clutching gift-wrapping paper and a shopping bag.
Asked if police suspected robbery as the motive, Chief Superintendent Clayton Fernander said police had not ruled that out.
In a statement, Sealy said,
"It was with great sadness and indeed a sense of disbelief that we at Doctors Hospital learned Monday night of the tragic shooting death of a member of our work family.
"This morning, we had an opportunity to assemble and to share our personal memories and to comfort one another.
"The commentary confirmed that we lost a hard-working, dedicated, caring and committed associate, who loved his work and more importantly his family. He kept the needs of others as more important than his own.
"His memory will forever be etched in our hearts and mind."
Sealy said Major had been employed with the hospital since 1989.
"We are trusting that the perpetrator(s) of this and other heinous acts will be swiftly brought to justice and denied the opportunity to commit such horrible acts ever again," Sealy added.
Major's murder was one of three that occurred in New Providence between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Fernander said police had limited leads in relation to the recent murders and appealed to anyone who has information to contact authorities.
The murder count for The Bahamas for 2014 is 106.
