      And what if it is murderer? Vomiting and diarrea could be the cause of him investing something

        So many years nobody harmed him who would want to harm him now? The man had mental issues and was feeling sick. People die. Nobody did anything to him, if you knew how well he was cared for by the community amid the trials you would zip it.Everything doesn’t have to be so morbid

        Anonymous the word is “injesting”. But I still think if he was feeling sick he should have gone to the doctor before going to bed.

      Something seems to be going on.

    Hmmmmm, I wonder if God will punish a society that is corrupt & wicked or a society that turning a blind eye to corruption in Govt. Maybe Peeping Tom can answer, cause so far we not seeing any blessings on our beloved island, one to the next! Deaths continuing in 2013 i hope some people survive.

      In that case, the world will be punished. God is a God of mercy and also a God of wrath. WOrld look out…In addition to focusing on Gov’t sins (and there are many), lets focus on our indvidual sins as well. Lets change starts with us. A little fun fact: God will not only judge leaders/ministers/politicians etc.. He will judge us too.

        Amen to that! I say Amen again!

        Let us believe that Mr. Durand has gone to his grave to wait for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

        And people of Dominica, please do not go to be with stomach pain and diarrhea–it have something to do with food poisoning. This is the second time I am reading about this kind of death situation.

        If you are too far from medical service call an ambulance. It is true that God has a set a time for each of us, but sometimes carelessness can interfere with God’s plan.

      People won’t die. We will all live forever. Is the govt responsible for death by natural causes now? That govt dangerous papa. Your comment has no substance nor intelligence. Moron. The good lord will surely decimate those looking to put politics before common sense and their fellow man, their countrymen, Dominicans as a whole. And you my friend is blinded by politics. Where does that leave you?

      Your are dust and to dust you shall return Morihei Ueshiba! You don’t seem to know this so I am reminding you. This does not have to do with Government. People must die. Death is inevitable. So prepare yourself – live as God would like you to so when the time comes you are prepared. That is all we can do and pray.
