AN autopsy will have to determine the cause of the death of the 30-year-old Cashandra Aranza Swartz whose lifeless body was discovered in her bedroom by her mother.
According to the incident report provided by the Namibian Police in the Erongo Region, the deceased person, who was an employee of the Amapori Lodge in Swakopmund, died in her sleep at her parents’ home in Danny Jacobs Street in the Mondesa residential area of Swakopmund.
“It is alleged that the young woman went to bed at around 12:00 without any complaint of feeling ill. At about 16:00, her mother tried to wake her up but soon realised that her daughter was not breathing. The family contacted the Police and the State Hospital in Swakopmund and the medical personnel who came to attend declared her dead at the scene,” reads the report.
The deceased person was staying with her parents and other family members and the mother told members of the police that her daughter did not have any known health problems.
According to the incident report, an inquest docket will only be opened after the results of the post-mortem examination is available.
