A 41-year-old woman col­lapsed and died while at a bus shed in Buc­coo, To­ba­go Wednes­day af­ter­noon.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice Dalia Jack was seen at about 3:00 pm alone in the bus shed when she bent over and scream­ing in pain.

A res­i­dent of Buc­coo said they ap­proached Jack and of­fered as­sis­tance and Jack said she could not breathe.

She how­ev­er asked for wa­ter and al­though she was giv­en wa­ter, she col­lapsed and died short­ly af­ter po­lice and am­bu­lance ar­rived at the scene.

Res­i­dents al­so ex­pressed con­cern that the po­lice and Emer­gency Med­ical Tech­ni­cians were not dressed in ap­pro­pri­ate PPE gear to treat with the fa­tal­i­ty in light of in­creas­ing COVID-19 cas­es in the coun­try.

Some of the of­fi­cers were on­ly wear­ing masks and no gloves while han­dling the dead woman’s be­long­ings.

Up to late Wednes­day evening of­fi­cers were at the scene in­ter­view­ing res­i­dents.
