on the passing of his dad, Wellesley Bolt

Wellesley Bolt, the father of track and field superstar Usain Bolt, has died.

He reportedly passed away at a medical facility in the Corporate Area earlier today.

The Gleaner was this afternoon informed by Sherwood Content residents, where Bolt lived, that he was transported from his home to the medical facility yesterday.

Effort to contact with Bolt's wife, Jennifer, were unsuccessful as it is believed she may have travelled to Kingston with him.

Wellesley Bolt was a well-respected figure in his community, where he operated a grocery shop for many years.
