The nude corpse of a woman which was discovered on the Kitty foreshore on Wednesday afternoon has been identified as Sharon Ford, a mother of five of 37 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
A police source confirmed that the woman was identified by her brother who saw images of her lifeless body on the internet and newscasts and later identified same at the Lyken Funeral Parlour.
This publication was informed that the woman was not in her right mind and that began to take a toll on her shortly after she was separated from her husband.
Persons who would usually traverse the Georgetown seawalls indicated to this newspaper that from time to time they will see individuals of unsound mind or who are homeless sleeping along the seawalls.
It is not clear if Ford was one of those persons or if she had attempted to take a bath in the Atlantic Ocean and might have been carried away by waves after a possible slip or fall.
On Wednesday persons who were going about their routine jogging along the seawalls between the Celina Resort and the Russian Embassy noticed the nude body of the woman amidst high winds and powerful waves.
The police were called to the scene and after a while and some initial investigations carried out, the woman was placed into a hearse and taken to a funeral parlour. A post mortem is expected to be performed on the body this morning.
