THE BODY of a woman was discovered on the floor of her living room early yesterday morning in what police described as a sudden death.

Officer in Charge of the Central Detective Unit, Superintendent Paul Rolle, said the woman was found by a co-worker who entered the Turnquest Alley home after the victim did not answer her phone or show up for work.

Police have not identified the victim, but The Tribune understands she is Sharon Johnson McCoy, a mathematics teacher at Nassau Christian Academy.

The school provided students with grief counsellors yesterday and a memorial service is being planned to remember Ms Johnson.

“So far we do not suspect foul play,” Supt Rolle said. “We are going through the process as we would any sudden death and an autopsy will have to be performed to determine the exact cause of death.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 328-TIPS.
