Dead: Latoya Thompson
The dead woman’s mother told this publication that her daughter, who lives alone, would normally visit her every afternoon.
However, when her daughter did not turn up to visit as per norm, the mother said that she sensed something was amiss and decided to visit instead. It was then that her worst fears were confirmed.
“When I reach by her I start to shout for her and she did not come out so I went up and open her door with the key that I have and that’s when I saw her lying In her bed already dead,” the distraught mother related.
The mother has, however, ruled out foul play. According to the woman her daughter was diagnosed with mental illness some years ago and had made several attempts to end her life.
