THE post-mortem examination conducted by Government Pathologist, Nehaul Singh, on 10-year-old June Alexander, a former pupil of Regma Primary School in Linden, revealed that she died from blunt trauma to the head, caused by blood vessel malformation.
The doctor opined that this was an illness Alexander suffered with since birth, but was triggered when she fell. Her aunt, Gail Hamilton, when contacted on Tuesday, reaffirmed her belief that her niece was pushed and said, “something is not adding up.” Statements from eyewitnesses revealed that the child collapsed and fell. The incident reportedly occurred at around 14:00hrs last Monday, when school was dismissed.
According to eyewitnesses, the child had complained she was feeling unwell and said she wanted to go to the washroom. She then attempted to do so but her peers saw her staggering and then she eventually fell. According to reports, the child’s mother also related that her daughter suffered a brain condition. After the fall, the child reportedly suffered from a seizure and was rushed to the Linden Hospital Complex and subsequently transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
Alexander leaves to mourn seven other siblings, her parents and other relatives. She was described as a quiet and well-behaved child.
