My condolences to all the families affected. I understand there were two more cases at Nukunuku in addition to the one mentioned here. therefore, 5 cases of death in a short space of time that have similar or common factors 1- sudden death 2 - similar age group (between 40s - 50s) . I wonder whether the Doctors (Hospital - Ministry of Health) has done a thorough autopsy on these cases to formerly determine the cause of death. first - Closure for the families directly affected and secondly - to assure the public that there is nothing that is starting to killing us or that age group. I don't want to be come across as being alarmist but these are too many to put down as coincidental for my liking. 5 cases of similar natures in a short space of time, the Health Officials should consider looking at this for Public Health's sake.
