Bernews understands Mr Kiss was a native of the European nation of Slovakia, and later became a naturalized Canadian.

We understand his work permit had recently not been renewed, and he was due to leave the island.

    I think I know this person. I met and was engaged to him in 1989 in Toronto Canada. I was looking for him when I researched and found this notice. Frank has a daughter in Toronto she was 5 years old Niky at the time. I will very much like to know where to contact Niky. I am desvastated, I thought he was happy, married with children etc. I don’t understand what he was doing in Bermuda, he was very good at his work (drywaller) and a very happy person. I will really like to know some more, I need to close this chapter of my life.

    Thank you for any information.

      Hi Sandra,

      I can’t believe I saw your comment on this article. We haven’t spoken in 21 years or more. Yes, we were all very shocked to hear about Frank’s death. He obviously had a lot of issues we were not aware of. Nicki is doing well. She is 26 years old now. Frank was working in Bermuda for a Canadian construction company. His VISA had expired and he had no where to go. He was not able to come back to Canada because of his criminal record and he couldn’t return to Slovakia either for the same reason. He had two other wives and both ended in problems leading to divorces and he had 2 other children – other than Nicki. His sister and I have become much closer since his death. She is a wonderful person. I also speak with Frank’s father on Skype now and then. Everyone feels very badly about Frank’s decision.

      I would like to hear from you. I am very glad I saw your comment on this article so I knew how to reach you. I hope this email finds you well and look forward to hearing from you.

      Kindest regards,

      Yana

    Hello Yana; thank you very much for responding to me, I remember you Niki’s mother.What a sad end of Frank’s life, it did not have to go that way. It sounds like he had a busy and complicated life at the end. I did not know anything about his past in Slovakia, he never mentioned anything to me. RIP Frank.
    I am glad Niki is okay and I am sure she is a beautiful girl. I alway wanted to know what happen to Frank, I thank you for responding. I was very busy last year with my mother and father’s dead so I went to my country I am now back in Toronto.
