Car explosion kills Schenectady man; cause still under investigation August 4, 2009 Updated 5:05 a.m. By Justin Mason (Contact) Gazette Reporter
SCHENECTADY — Kooldeep Premraj was waiting for his wife to return home from work when he heard an alarm sounding from his son’s 2002 BMW 530i shortly after midnight last Tuesday. When the 53-year-old Guyanese man went to inspect the vehicle parked behind his George Street residence, a fireball ripped through its interior, gravely burning him on the arms, chest and face. Premraj died from his injures while hospitalized at the Westchester Medical Center Saturday morning, leaving both his mourning family and investigators wondering exactly what touched off the lethal blast. “It’s still under investigation,” Schenectady Police Det. Kevin Green said Monday. “We still don’t know if the car was an arson.” The fire was first called in around 12:30 a.m., when it was reported as an explosion. Nigel Premraj, the deceased man’s son, said his father was awakened by the alarm and saw a fire burning on one of the seats.............>>>>..............>>>>.........http://www.dailygazette.com/news/2009/aug/04/0804_carfire/

He had moved from the Berbice region of Guyana to Richmond Hills section of Queens in 1996, and moved to Schenectady in 2002, according to his brother, Lake Boodhoo, 54, of Queens.
Since then, he has helped hundreds of Guyanese move to the Electric City, according to several family members. They said he owned five houses in Schenectady, which he bought and fixed with Nigel, who is 23. He let some of the new arrivals stay at his properties in the city.
It was not uncommon to see Premraj clearing the street and property of snow or being the first to welcome newcomers to the neighborhood, Singh said.
Premraj doted on his children and the Schenectady students who rode the school bus he drove while working for the past few years in the city school district for Northland Transportation.
