How did Jenice, 4, die?

Relatives said that at 9 pm on Thursday, Jenice was found unresponsive on a mattress and was taken by ambulance for medical treatment.

A student of the Whiteland Early Childhood Learning Centre, Jenice lived with her father Robert Figaro, 37, and other relatives at Morocoy Extension Road in Whiteland.

She was the only child for her father and mother Shana Charles, 30, of Gasparillo.

Charles was too distraught to speak yesterday.

Her grandfather Lucien Fabien, 53, said the child’s death has left him shattered. He claimed that recently, a cast was removed from her hand after other relatives said she broke it during a fall.

Fabien said the little girl had brought so much joy to his life.

Fabien recalled that on Thursday night he and his son had left home when 45 minutes later they got a call from a female relative to come back home immediately as Jenice had fallen ill.
