    This is the about the death a French citizen within the Antiguan jurisdiction, therefore the police must investigate to satisfy the French authorities and her family that there was no foul play involved. In addition, this lady is a tourist, and an unexplained death could negatively impact our tourism offering.

    @ JuJuBee. Boss, it is foul play, not foreplay. This is not the first time you come here and write crap.
    If you are the same guy who hosts a show on crusader radio and always calling Observer radio, then broadcasting has now gone to the dogs. You too hasty to become popular. Settle down my youth and start do some serious reading.

    @Juju Bee
    Do you really mean ” foreplay* as o strongly suspect you do, or do you mean FOUL PLAY? Or both??? ?

    My condolences to the bereaved. However, since when people stop having sudden deaths?
    I had an uncle who died suddenly at his home too, where he lived alone and that was not reported as news. The police ame and they did what they had to do a d similarly, no foul play was discovered. So, people die suddenly all the time and they not making news, or is it because she came from France? Somebody could be dying suddenly right now, let’s wait and see if that too will make news.
    Social media has become a major conduit for anything and everything, but news has its order, time , and place. Antigua.News, do better!
