Local newspaper, the Trinidad and Tobago Guardian, said that an opposing gang has been protecting Sheron.
At his funeral, Sheron had an open casket and wore has infamous gold chains.
He was also wearing his gold rings.
Sheron's lavish funeral is symbolic in the way that is hows that people in today's world have changed the way that they think of death. For celebrities, their legacies and what they have been famous for during their life, have been integrated into their funerals. They are taking their death as the last chance to leave a mark on the world, and even plan it ahead of time.
During his life, Sheron loved to display his wealth and personality to the world. This included the gold jewelry and also his Timberland boots.
Sheron earned his wealth as a used car salesman and liked to be known as the "world boss."
He was really involved with cars and took that piece of personality to display at his funeral. His body was driven to the funeral in a Bentley, and it has two cars playing music following behind.
On the way to his cremation after the funeral, several expensive cars followed behind and also drove around the pyre. Local police officers weren't too happy about it.
An employee of Sheron's cremation site explained:
"I was asked why I allowed a car show to take place on these sacred grounds. But there were police officers present and they did not say anything. How can I approach them and stop the show? I couldn't do anything. It was a danger to the persons there and also desecrated the ground."
