A geriatric nurse who went to a Siparia beach with her boyfriend on Wednesday, has reportedly drowned.
She has been identified as Sandy Mohammed, 37, of Goodwill Road, Ocean Drive, Chaguanas.
Mohammed's boyfriend Kyron Hospedales, 36, of Sangre Grande, reported that around 6:55 pm they were at Quinam Beach sitting on some rocks and they then entered the water.
He said he left her in waist-high water and went for a swim. When he returned, Hospedales said he did not see Mohammed. He called out to her but got no response.
Hospedales retrieved a flashlight from by the rocks and then saw her body floating in the water. He pulled her put and left her on the shore while he went to find help.
A district medical officer viewed her body and ordered its removal.
The autopsy will be done at the Forensic Sciences Centre in Port of Spain.
Investigations are continuing.
