The Bermuda Police Service can now confirm the death of 49 year old Mr. Marco Bowen and extends sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Mr. Bowen was seriously injured when the motorcycle he was riding was involved in a collision with a water truck as both vehicles attempted to negotiate the round-a-bout at the junction of Barkers Hill and North Shore Road in Devonshire around 5:30pm Monday, October 8th.
