London, United Kingdom - A Nigerian woman working as a caregiver in the United Kingdom (UK), Chidimma Susan Ezenyili, has collapsed and died while on duty.

This was despite the efforts of the neighbours to save her life.

As reported by Daily Trust on Wednesday, March 6, the 37-year-old had struggled to work because she was resolved not to abandon her elderly client, Ian Hale, in Scott Road, but slumped at her duty in the street of Bishop’s Stortford and gave up the ghost two days later.

It was also said that Ezenyili, also known as Suzy, was a Nigerian lawyer before she migrated to the UK.

Speaking about Suzy’s demise, Hale’s daughter, Catherine Segal, said:

Naturally, her husband started shouting for help. The neighbourhood raced to help. Myself and my husband ran outside along with our next-door neighbour and our neighbour from across the road.

Suzy was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, where doctors discovered she had suffered a severe brain haemorrhage.

In his narration, Segal’s husband, Saul, said:

Sadly, life support was turned off two days later, on February 24, and she passed with her husband by her side.
