Three found dead at home in eight days

Three residents were found dead at their homes over the past eight days, according to police, who did not disclose the causes of any of the deaths.

On the night of May 13, police responded to reports of a possible death at Thredfall Estate, where they discovered Kerry Baker, a 59-year-old St. Kitts national, who was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a press release issued last Thursday.

Police then received a report at 5:15 p.m. Friday of an unresponsive woman in Crab Hill, Virgin Gorda. The woman was identified as 75-year-old Edis Hazelwood, who was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Police Information Officer Akia Thomas, who did not issue a press release about this death.

Then, on Sunday afternoon, police received a report of an unresponsive male at his home in Fort Hill. Ruel Fahie, a 54-year-old Virgin Islander, was also pronounced dead at the scene, according to a Monday press release.

Neither press release identified a cause of death or provided further details, but both stated, “Investigations are ongoing in the matter.”
