The 37-year-old woman who resided at Lot 61 West Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara was said to be suffering from chronic renal failure-a long-term condition where the kidneys do not work effectively.
According to reports reaching this publication, the woman had been a patient at the GPHC since December 20 of last year, after being admitted for the same condition.
Unconfirmed reports however indicate that treatment was being administered to the woman, which she refused, and subsequently plunged to her death.
While most of the staff working the shift were unaware of the incident, those who witnessed reacted immediately by rushing her to the Emergency Room (ER) where she was pronounced dead.
Up until this newspaper was at the scene, no family member or relative had arrived to identify the body at the medical institution.
