Post mortem confirms epileptic woman died by drowning
Odessa Fraser, the epileptic whose body was found in a ditch in East Ruimveldt on Thursday, died by drowning,
This was confirmed yesterday during an autopsy by Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh.
Kaieteur News understands that there was a substantial amount of mud in the victim’s lungs. The corpse bore no injuries.
Investigators have concluded that Fraser drowned after suffering a seizure.
The woman was found lying face-down in the ditch around 06:00 hrs on Thursday.
A resident told Kaieteur News that it was around then that his wife looked through a window and screamed out: “Don’t tell me this girl dead.”
On looking outside, he saw Fraser lying with her upper body in the drain.
Fraser had moved out of her mother’s home last October after a dispute.
On Wednesday night, she turned up in front of her mother’s home with the intention of moving back in but was refused entry.
The man alleged that during that time, Fraser suffered three epileptic attacks, but her mother still refused to let her in.
