    I find this fishy that a woman with such brilliance and children and a closely knitted family would take her life. I welcome the investigation because we need to get to the bottom of it all

    My Condolences to The Family Members and Close Friends of Sgt Malone-Merchant on her Untimely Passing Over ….

    Is it possible to have published in the Daily Observer (And Otherwise) THE EARLY SIGNS That May Accompany The Affect, Behaviour and/or Speech of Adults and Children who May Be in Danger of Attempting Suicide?

    I am Not SURE if THIS has already been Done by WISH Or Other Mental Health Associations in ANU/BAR. However, A REPEATED Publication of THIS Very Important Information possibly Accompanied By A SUICIDE HOT LINE, Could CERTAINLY Assist in EDUCATING THE PUBLIC. The Publication of THIS Important Information would ALSO assist in Providing Persons in STRESSFUL Situations and Their Loved Ones and Associates an opportunity to Reach Out EARLY in attempting to Assist BEFORE Tragedy occurs.

    THESE EARLY SIGNS Could ALSO be Displayed in Specific Areas of Our Government and Private Hospitals And Clinics in Antigua/Barbuda, as well as Health Centers and Other Health Related Departments or Areas …… And Even in ALL Government Offices in Antigua And Barbuda.

    If at All possible, could the Relevant Institutions/Authorities, Etc assist The People of THIS Nation in the Manner Suggested? Many Thanks …..
