Police Investigate Possible Suicide

Police Investigate Possible SuicideAntigua st John's - The police are investigating the apparent suicide of a Dominican Republic national, an outpatient of the Clarevue Mental Hospital, who lived in the Grays-Green community.

The 51-year-old Woman was found hanging by the neck with a piece of electrical wire in the living room of a Christian Street Gray's Farm home.

Police spokesman Sr Sgt William Holder said the police received an anonymous phone call at about 3 pm on Tuesday.

When they arrived at her Christian Street home, they found the body hanging from a rafter in the roof with an electrical cord around her neck.
 
Holder identified the woman as Brijiba Altagracia De La Rosario-Slaven. She was 51, and more commonly known in the community as "Lucy".
 



According to Holder, the woman was last seen by friends at around 2:30 pm. He said that it was too early to tell whether foul play had a role in her death.
 
Neighbours reported that she seemed distressed when they interacted with her earlier in the day. She is survived by her husband, Hilroy Slaven, an Antigua & Barbuda national.

This article didn't confirm it, but Observer reported that the suicide may have been avoided had the police acted professionally in this matter. Per Observer, the irrational actions of the deceased were reported to the police, who informed that they would deal with the situation "tomorrow". Unfortunately for the deceased, tomorrow never came.

So while the police investigate a possible suicide, they also need to investigate their own actions in this matter.
