Police in St Andrew are investigating the sudden death of a woman who collapsed inside a church in Stony Hill on Sunday morning.
The deceased has been identified as Valerie Dubidad, a resident of Airy Castle Road in the Stony Hill area. Reports indicate that the incident occurred around 9:45 a.m. while she was attending a service at the Church of God of Prophecy.
Witnesses told investigators that Dubidad suddenly fell from her seat, appeared to be breathing heavily, and then became unresponsive. Fellow church members raised an alarm, prompting police intervention.
Officers from the Stony Hill Police Station responded, and the woman was transported to the Kingston Public Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Two women who were inside the church at the time reported that Dubidad had attended an earlier service and appeared to be in good health, actively participating before the incident occurred.
Police investigations into the matter are ongoing.
