The woman whose body was found on the ground Tuesday in Estate Thomas died of natural causes, according to the V.I. Police Department, rather than as the result of a traffic accident, as police originally suspected.
Police identified the woman as 60-year-old Valerie Tyson Clarke. The body was found Tuesday morning and at the time, police speculated that the cause of death was a traffic accident.
However, following an autopsy, the VIPD Traffic Investigation Bureau confirmed that Clarke died of natural causes.
The findings close the investigation, which was being conducted as a possible pedestrian accident.
