Police in Mahdia are investigating the death of a 26-year-old nurse, who they suspect committed suicide.
The woman, Schenise Apple of Block 22, Linden, Region 10, was found hanging in her room yesterday afternoon.
Police commander of ‘F’ Division Kevin Adonis last night told Stabroek News that the woman’s lifeless body was spotted by an individual who passed by her room in the nurses hostel.
He said that the police were alerted and the woman was removed from her room and taken to the hospital mortuary.
The commander said investigators are probing a suspected suicide.
The woman’s friends told investigators that she was last seen on Monday night after she completed her shift. She was not seen during the course of the day nor did she show up for her shift, the commander said.
