A Dominican born elderly woman living in Antigua has been found dead in her bed.
The Antigua Observer has identified her as Islin “Sister” James and it is reported she lay dead undiscovered for two days.
The body was discovered by neighbours who went to investigate after they had not seen the elderly woman for some time.
“People had not seen her for about three days but at first it didn’t surprise anyone that the house was locked down because she usually lock up inside. But then there was a funny smell and people went to check and found her dead in her bed,” the Antigua Observer reported a witness as saying.
The Antigua police are investigating the matter.
Rip
My sympathy to her family. May her soul rest in peace. Amen!
so sad
Hi May
You, like the writer, are saying that the woman is living though she is dead. This may be better. A Dominican born woman who resided in Antigua.

Cha! All of you here throwing stones behind each other but every ONE of you have some sort of punctuation grammar or spelling mistake!! And what’s up with the U U U. The word is YOU! See what i mean??
The headline is well documented but the first paragraph need to be re-written. Condolenses to the family.
@ Jackie Brown
Everyone makes mistakes. Just as long as you comprehend what you read. The problem is that some of you analyze, parse and criticize too much.
The word is ‘condolence’. You too are not perfect. You are petty.
A statement has been made regarding the word attains spelt incorrectly.
I would like to make it quite clear that at no time, have I ever, made this statement to anyone.
Unless someone else, has decided, to use the same name as me.
I have not been on this site on the 12 September 2012. Farless to make a statement to anyone regarding their spelling abilities.
Many of us have relatives in Antigua. I, too, would like to know the person’s real identity, and if possible, the cause of death. All-in-all, may her sould rest in peace.
I also know some Dominicans in Antigua. She may have had a heart attack and/or died in her sleep due to same or aneurism. We know this occasionally happens to people and not only the elderly. The autopsy will reveal the cause of death. I wonder if DNO will find out about it and post it for readers.
To the family of the lady who was found dead in Antigua. My sympathies go out to you and may God give each and everyone of you strength.
“An elderly woman living in Antigua but born in Dominica has been found dead in her bed”
My professor once told me that anytime I had to read something several times to understand what it is saying, then its not me.
you are so heartless
Or you can say “An elderly woman who lived in Antigua for a number of years, but, was Born in Dominica was found dead in her bed”
My Condolenses to the Family
@ Citizen K
What is wrong with your mind?
I read it and understood. It is simple to read and comprehend. Some of you search for errors and grammar and do not overlook same; always harassing DNO. You lack appreciation. You and a few as you should be prohibited from this Website.
my my, a person passed, instead of sending condolenses to the family whoever she is, you all trying to see who is speaking the best english? come on dominicans, why can’t we just relax and take it easy. If the other person is an expert happy for her, just move on man. The lady who passed could well be a member of anyone of us family. cha man. some people don’t know the time and place man.
some people just full off they go on DNO just to look for any little thing criticize be wrong come on Dominican grow up man.
lol if they don’t do that the news will not be interested, so let the people be man, i like the different type of people giving comments.
which part in d/ca is she from?
May her soul rest in peace
DNO,”A Dominican born elderly woman living in Antigua” makes more sense.
Six of one half a dozen of the other(that’s minute). We understand she lives in Antigua but was born in Dominica!!!!
Dont know where DNO geting some of those journalists and editors there,gosh people from all over the world reading these………..
@ George
Here is another one who loves to criticize. Your writing is even worst. Read it again. Anyway, you will not recognize your errors. It needs to be improved. You are lacking in proper writing and no doubt reading, of the English language.
I would agree…i totally had to reread to understand it.
Somebody, anybody…which part of Dominica is she from?
hope is not any foul play. may her soul rest in peace and her relatives be strong. jah guide.
U talk about grammar,but the period at the end of ur sentences don’t need to be there.
Of cource the periods suppose to be there. But where the person’s capital letters?
The period before the LAST NOT suppose to be there!!!!!
FULL stops come before quotation marks!!!! Wise up people!!!!
im at work ok.my sup like a hawk.not spose to be on d.a news however my point was understood and thats what matters.
Your English teacher apparently did not learn and therfore could not teach you about commas, fullstops, capital letters at the beginning of new sentences etc.
You speak of grammar, what about your capital letters and punctualtion marks? It is just as bad! Do not criticize when you do not show the example in your writing!
Sorry for the spelling, ‘punctuation’
says the person who can’t even spell “attains”
so for why u doh put a question mark after your questions? especially about where u dere saying ” why why cant the way…”
Bondiere but you are not doing a very good job either nah. You are the same as the reporter who posted the news on DNO
Is grammar yout main concern here? how about the mystery death of the elderly woman?smh
was it your English teacher who taught you to spell attain as ättaines”? well he /she did a dam good job lol
@ Anonymous
Some of you love to criticize and humiliate people for the simplest thing. You criticize DNO but your writing leaves much to be desired. You should be ashamed of yourself.
It seems that your English teacher did not do a good job of educating you in also utilizing the punctuation marks and others, placing them where they should be.
Think twice before correcting people on this Website. You are not their English Grammar teacher.
You criticize others but note your writing which also needs improvement. Write and spell properly. The word is ‘attains’ not ‘attaines.’
Use ‘capitals’ and others where they are necessary, as ‘Dominica’ and ‘English’.
Use proper punctuation and note where you placed the comma and the exclamation mark. Leave two spaces between the full-stop (period) and one space after the comma. In so doing, we, the readers will be able to also understand without difficulty what you are trying to relay and will not criticize you.
Rest in Peace Sister!!
poor woman she died alone god rest her soul
the hospital need s improvement
you lost me there. you sure you commenting on the right story?
lol…
