It is interesting that the original Walcott saw his potential, among the many pretenders who stole his name, while occasionally accomplishing world level credentials! The end of the Barbados Demon is an unfortunate one. There were some film makers interested in making a story about his life, and he walked over to negotiate with them. On the way he was killed in by a passing car, and since he had nothing on his person to identify him, he was buried in an unmarked paupers grave!
