Dead: Esther Dwarka-Bowlin

The woman, Esther Dwarka-Bowlin, acting Headmistress of the Princetown Nursery School in Corriverton was taken to the hospital around 8:30 pm on Friday after she started experiencing labour pain.

Relatives suspected that she died long before the 6 am visit on Saturday because she had already “turned blue,” but said the hospital had not informed them.
