    Any one thought that maybe he had a heart attack or something? We so quick to jump and cry bloody murder. We don’t know how he died so stop speculating.

    DNO, is it true that you do not accept comments for 17 to 20 August, 2017 ? Are you controlling freedom of expression again. Or you only accept negatives about the government.

    DNO: Please don’t jump to conclusions. We are experiencing some internal issues which we are hoping to rectify very soon.

      DNO thanks for the point of clarification. But my jumping to conclusion is not accidental. I read you policy statement which promised professionalism , but on several occasions I have tested the waters and receive statements like “duplicate you have already said this (NOT ), your statement is receiving consideration ( this remain in abeyance for 3 or so days then it disappear )
      I see so much tabloid type statements that you publish that goes against your policy of professionalism, but if I refute it with factual support its not published. You tend to show bias against the government by what you allowed for viewing. In this age of fake news you should not be following the negative crowd.
      I have to complement you for the many times that you have publish news about Dominica that is professional. But when you control comments that are in keeping with you promised standard its disappointing.

    Wholehearted sympathy to the grieving family of the departed. I just hope that this is not another case of murder. Dominica is known to be a tranquil place populated by peace loving earthlings. In recent times there are a few miscreants who are bent on sullying her image in low and high places. That must not happen. With a united sense of purpose, Dominica can achieve its God-given potential.

      “Why are so many people dying” indeed, not dying but all these mysterious death especially our young people and seemly healthy people. Is our healthcare in Dominica that bad? Please Mr PM do something to improve the healthcare because we will be dying like flies on the streets.

      Once you are born dying is inevitable, regardless of your station or wealth. Death is finite, time does not come back. It is easy to get used to it, you only do it once.
