The death of a Bush Lot mother of three adult children is being treated as a suicide. The 47-year-old apparently died several days after she drank poison and was hospitalized at the Suddie Public Hospital.
The woman’s death comes several months after a popular rice farmer took his own life. There are now reports that the woman and her husband were experiencing domestic problems.
According to a report from Region Two, between January and June of this year, 69 persons attempted suicide while 52 cases were treated. There were 19 deaths.
The Region has established a suicide committee to deal with the prevailing issue. (Yannason Duncan)
