The 71-year-old doctor who was found dead on a beach in Bequia early on April 24, died of “asphyxia due to upper and lower airway obstruction from sea sand”.
Police said this was the conclusion of an autopsy conducted on the body of the doctor, Margaret-Ann Eustace, of Harmony Hall, St . Vincent.
Police said that Estace had been seen on the beach the previous evening.
They said that in light of the post-mortem findings, the investigation into the matter was discontinued.
“The RSVGPF extends its condolences to the family and friends of the deceased during this difficult time,” police said.
What is the explanation as to how sand got into her
My Condolences to the family of Dr. Eustace.She was such a kind and beautiful soul
Something (sun thing) is in the mortar besides the pestle. Smells fishy, ĥow did the sand get in her mouth?
Investigation discontinued? How did sea sand got in her airways? Don’t tell me that she was eating sea sand..more Investigation needed.
This is unbelievable, how did sand got into her mouth as to go down her throat especially for a doctor. I have never heard such a thing like this, i can understand water but not sand something is not right here believe or not. My deepest condolences to her family may her Soul Rest in Peace.
maybe she had a seizure or playing with snd in her mouth, and get choke while coughing
The article didn’t say she was eating sand. I think maybe she passed out on the beach, fell face down and inhaled the sand. May her soul rest in eternal peace.
It would have to be perfectly dry sand to make its way into her upper and lower airways. It is not easy to ingest or inhale wet sand. If she was also found in the sea/ocean, then it would have to be either while choking or after having been choked by sand, she made her way there. Maybe the tides came up to where the dry sand was to fetch her
Help me understand this, was she eating the sand?
