A female resident of Wismar in Linden is reported to have died suddenly last Thursday, and police are investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.
Tiffianna Stewart, a 32-year-old unemployed resident of Linden, passed away at around 5:30h after apparently experiencing a severe medical episode.
Stewart was reportedly with her boyfriend in a car when she began coughing violently. Blood was seen coming from her mouth, and she quickly lost consciousness.
Concerned, the boyfriend rushed her to the Linden Hospital Complex, but she was pronounced dead on arrival.
According to police reports, Stewart had had a history of respiratory issues, and had often relied on an inhaler to manage shortness of breath. She had also had a known heart condition. An initial examination of Stewart’s body showed no visible signs of violence or trauma.
Her body was subsequently taken to the Pensioner Funeral Home, where a post-mortem examination was scheduled for Wednesday to determine the exact cause of death. The results of the examination have not yet been released, but investigators are awaiting the post-mortem results to better understand the cause of her death, even as they continue their inquiries into the matter with the hope of providing clarity on the incident.
