Mark CLARKE

Mark Clarke competed at both the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games as well as at the Pan American Games and the Central American and Caribbean Games. Clarke was a police officer who started his career with the Jamaican Police but later moved to the Cayman Island police, where he became a detective, retiring around 2000. Clarke’s death was circumstantial as in late October 2013 he went sailing on a solo fishing trip, leaving Rackley’s Canal in the North Sound area of the Caymans aboard his 25-foot boat “Badger.” The next day his empty boat was found wedged on a coral reef off Cayman Kai. A search and rescue mission ensued but his body was never recovered.
