Norma George&#8217;s 27-year-old daughter Lateefa George died on October 31 while at the Clarevue Psychiatric Unit in Antigua.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Norma said her daughter suffered from mental issues; more specifically Bipolar Disorder, an illness she had grappled with since she was 19. She told reporters in St Johns that her daughter had complained about feeling mentally unwell a few days before her death and she was checked into the hospital. That happened on September 4.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said by October 30 when she visited Lateefa, she realized her daughter was unresponsive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I reached the women\u2019s quarters, I saw three nurses sitting there. I asked them \u2018where\u2019s my daughter\u2019 and they told me she was sleeping\u2026when I saw the child, she was lifeless,\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe was slanted on the bed with a pillow behind her back and her two hands stretched on her side. I embraced her and I started to cry to her \u2018Lateefa, Lateefa\u2019\u2026and she never responded,\u201d her mother told Observer Radio in Antigua<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to reports, the next day, George said she received a call that her daughter was at the hospital. She said she asked what was wrong with her daughter, but wasn\u2019t given an answer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the hospital, the mother was told of the condition her daughter had arrived in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe doctor told me that the ambulance that brought her did not get anything from her. No pulse, nothing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, an investigation has been launched into George\u2019s sudden death.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a press statement to the media, Ambassador Lionel Hurst, Chief of Staff at the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, said: \u201c The Minister of Health reported that an investigation is ongoing into the sudden death of a 29-year-old patient at the Clarevue Mental Hospital. The young woman\u2019s parents met with the Minister of Health who visited their home to give them the assurance that a full investigation will be carried out. He was very warmly received and they expressed appreciation for his visit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Dominican woman whose daughter died under medical supervision in neighboring Antigua and Barbuda has retained the services of a lawyer as she awaits an autopsy.
