Shock waves rippled through the mining town as news spread of a young woman who jumped off the Mackenzie/Wismar Bridge to her death, in the murky Demerara River.
Several persons reportedly witnessed the gruesome incident.
The woman, 24-year-old Tabitha Small, of South Amelia’s Ward, was reportedly diagnosed with tuberculosis about two years ago.
On Monday last, Small had gone to the Linden Hospital Complex for treatment for her condition, according to reports. She had reportedly suffered a fainting spell while there, and was subsequently admitted to the institution.
However sources revealed that Small took her own discharge early yesterday morning, and proceeded to the Mackenzie/Wismar Bridge. According to one eyewitness, she was ‘barefoot’ at the time. The woman subsequently climbed onto the rails of the bridge and jumped overboard, as she neared the Wismar end of the structure, eyewitnesses reported.
At the time, a few vehicles were in the process of crossing. Unfortunately, however, no one was close enough to the woman, to save her. A search was immediately launched for the woman’s body, but so far efforts to retrieve same have proven futile.
Police sources claimed that investigators were called to the scene following a report of the incident.
