Police Investigate Sudden Death in Freetown
St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda, Saturday, March 28, 2026
The police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the sudden death of 48-year-old Karen Pigott of Wireless Road.
At approximately 6:20 p.m. on Friday, March 27, police received a report that a motor vehicle had driven into a hedge along a by-road in Freetown, and the driver was found unresponsive inside.
Officers responded to the scene and observed a grey Toyota Ractis motor car, which had come to a stop in a hedge on the eastern side of the road, with a lone female occupant slouched in the driver’s seat and appeared to be unresponsive.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were summoned and conducted examinations; however, no signs of life were detected. A medical doctor later visited the scene and officially pronounced the woman dead at approximately 8:05 p.m. Foul play is not suspected.
The Police Administration extends sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased during this difficult time.
The investigation remains ongoing.

Why are we ALWAYS so quick to say “foul play is Not suspected” ???????
For heaven’s sake, shut up and investigate before those statements are made. Things are not always what they seem.
A few years ago, a young lady was found dead with her wrist slashed about 6pm, in the ABS 7 o’clock news, it was already been reported as a suicide, with no foul play suspected, long story short, an ex police officer was charged for her murder. My point is investigate everything before we come to these conclusions.
Lord help us to be ready when you come. Holy spirit fix me
condolences to the family
First you all say she 46 now she 48. That’s why all you should get all you facts right before publishing stories
Condolences to the family.
