Antigua St. John’s - The police are awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death of 35-year-old Jennifer Joseph, who collapsed and died in the bathroom of a hair salon on Green Bay Hill on Monday.
Police spokesman Corporal Frankie Thomas said the deceased had a long medical history and the force is awaiting the results of the examination before making a pronouncement on the cause of death.
Reports are that Joseph left her hairdresser’s chair to use the bathroom but after some time elapsed without her return, the cosmetologist opted to investigate and found her lying just outside the bathroom door. This was around 12:30 pm.
Cpl Thomas said it is suspected that the woman suffered from epilepsy but this could not be confirmed at this time. “This is definitely a matter that we will investigate further,” he assured.
Meanwhile, Thomas disclosed that the force is looking into what appears to be a “near-drowning” of a three-year-old child.

Why now?
There are so much secrets that needs to be dug up.......files to be found,persons to lock up,people to send to jail for life but nothing ever happens in Antigua.
Just a bunch of talk and bribery.

...an unfortunate situation...
There are many of us who is ready and willing to quote the law, adjuicate and throw away the key to the cell, yet we will see "the law" been broken, know that "the law" is been broken and turn a blind eye to these circumstances and in many cases, these are the crimes which are having a drastic negative effect on our culture and society.

Yes it went horribly wrong, but Mr. Pompey was very insensitive.
As a father of two small children, sometimes it suuprises you how fast thing s can happen.
How many of us are attentive 100 % percent of the time ?
Not to excuse his error, but Mr. Pompey there is no need to paint the father in the light of a common criminal.

If a person cannot stand the "...heat in the kitchen," he should get out.
Do know that like many visitors to Caribarena, you will not be that negligent or expressive.
Best wishes to MARCO.

The information provided in the first commentary was not intended for the "...RESPONSIBLE " parents, guardians or adults.
Hence, those who might be inclined to act "...recklessly, carelessly, and/or negligently" may take counsel.
This advice was based on sound professional knowledge, practice and experience, as it affects Law enforcement.
Recently there had been two unfortunate shocking and tragic drowning. Let us all encourage the "...IRRESPONSIB LE" to be "...RESPONSIBLE ."

MUCH MORE THAN THAT
Law enforcement might wish to be more helpfully enlightening.
Section "5" of the Juvenile Act 229 is quite clear that such was " ...EXPOSING JUVENILE TO PHYSICAL DANGER."
Captioned "...CRUELTY TO JUVENILE," it states (benefit of John French II):
"...Every person who, having attained the age of seventeen years and having the CUSTODY, charge or care of any Juvenile WILFULLY assaults; ...ill-treats; ...NEGLECTS; ...abandons; or ...EXPOSES such juvenile; or ...CAUSES or procures him/her to be assaulted, ill-treated, NEGLECTED, abandoned, or EXPOSED in any manner LIKELY to cause that Juvenile unnecessary suffering or injury to health including- INJURY to, or loss of sight, hearing, limb, organ or of body; and ...any mental derrangement (crazy) shall be guilty of a misdemeanor- (Indictable trial-Judge/Jur y - Penalties- 2 years; Summary- $1500 or 3months imprisonment.
Father should have taken both 3 and 10 year-olds with him to fetch towel.
