A British woman has been found dead in a pool of blood under her bed alongside her deceased dog on a Caribbean island.
Diana Theodore's body was discovered in her St Lucia home over the weekend. The 75-year-old had moved to the island nation from the UK more than 30 years ago, Birmingham Live reports.
According to a neighbour, Ms Theodore was reported missing by a friend who she lives with. “He came to us and said he had not seen her, so we all went in search of her but did not find her,” the neighbour said.
"We all went looking to try to find her as she is always at home. It is not like her not to be seen in this small village. She was friendly and has been living in Morne Sion for many years now.”
Police said: “About 12:00 am today, August 6, 2022, officers attached to the Choiseul Police Station were summoned to a residence at Morne Sion, Choiseul, following the discovery of an unresponsive female therein."
Ms Theodore was a long-term member and former Councillor of Saint Lucia National Trust. The Council, Management and Staff of the Saint Lucia National Trust wrote on Facebook: "Diana was a passionate and vocal advocate for Saint Lucia’s natural and cultural heritage.
"She was a long-term member of the Trust who also served on Council and regularly contributed her ideas, concerns and advice in areas of conservation and community interest. Her death is a great loss and Diana will be sorely missed."
