17-year-old Dacia Reynolds was found hanging
from a tree in her yard in Runaway Bay, St Ann
about 1:30 pm on Tuesday, Oct. 4th. Police say

suicide.
Her body was taken to to the morgue for a post
mortem to determine the actually cause of death
and to reveal if any foul play was involved. No
motives have yet been determined by the police as
to why Reynolds may have taken her own life.
She was described as a promising young woman
who didn’t show any signs of having problems, so
her her taking her own life came has a real shocker
to her friends and family.
“She showed no signs of depression,” one family
member said, as a group sat comforting her
bereaved mother, Verona Ferguson.
The distraught mother recalled that when she left
Reynolds on Tuesday morning for work, she was
not anticipating a call that would inform her of her
death.
“Monday we were playing inside,” Ferguson
recalled. “She was always happy, friendly, and
always with a smile.”
This shake up the entire district, everybody. She
had an incredibly bubbly personality. She was
passionate about life. Whenever she committed to
doing something she always followed through,”
said Pastor Delroy Johnson, who visited the family.
“She was enjoying church on Sunday; she was
smiling. She was a very good girl; she never had a
frown on her face,” another family member added.
Reynolds, a past student of Ferncourt High in the
parish, had only been attending her new school of
Cosmetology for two weeks. She reportedly stayed
home on Tuesday because of the weather
associated with Hurricane Matthew.
