Minister of State for Culture, Youth, Sports and Community Development Oscar George has offered condolences to the family and friends of young student-athlete Keyoni Esprit, whose death has left the sporting community in mourning.
Several other national sporting and educational bodies have also expressed their sympathy following the news. Their statements reflect the wide sense of loss felt among young people and coaches who knew Esprit as a student and as an athlete.
The reporting available at this stage does not state the cause of death, and the circumstances and location have not been confirmed. Reference has been made to the recovery of a body, but further details on that development have not yet been released, and Dominica 1 will update this report as verified information becomes available.
Dominica 1 extends its sympathy to the Esprit family and to everyone touched by this loss. Anyone seeking support during this difficult time is encouraged to turn to family, school communities and community counselling services.
