Concern by employer led to discovery of dead Parham Town woman
According to reports reaching our news centre, the now deceased Joycelyn Woodley was employed in the the domestic industry for two decades.
Her employer had become concerned after not seeing or hearing from her since Sunday, September 13, 2020. He had allegedly made several calls to her phone without any response.
Unpleasant discovery
After calling again on Tuesday and getting no reply, the concerned employer decided to visit Woodley's home.
It is said that the door to her single bedroom apartment was discovered unlocked; however, calling out to her yielded no response.
The man proceeded to enter the apartment and was hit by a strong stench, which led him to her bedroom where Woodley's body was discovered on a bed.
Neighbour didn't suspect anything was off
A neighbour said she had called out to Woodley on Monday morning, while heading out to work, and thought she heard a response. She called out to her on Tuesday morning also and she received no reply but didn't suspect something was wrong.
Woodley, a national of St Vincent and The Grenadines, was the mother of a police officer stationed on Virgin Gorda.
She was a beloved member of the New Testament Church of God International Worship Centre in Baughers Bay, Tortola.

Y'all is the most wickedest people u can ever encounter no regards 4 humanity y'all churches r more like cults . If u not apart of the church y'all treat people like cast outs.
The only reason y'all attend church is bcuz u wanna give the impression like y'all is saint & so honest.
I totally agree with the comment. Can't believe that she has children in the bvi and she is found in a state of decay. I have children overseas and we touch base every day. She died alone. I wish my mum was alive so I can check in with her. There is nothing you can do now. It is too late.
you guys thing you are more loving than everybody, show some sympathy and stop judging. you see, words has a way of coming to bites each one of us in our hiding secret ugly lives, pretending to be caring in public and media.
Husband and wife together not not together, living in the same house sleeping in separate room or the same bed and not together...
Parents molesting, abusing, selling, killing their children, treating them like strangers and others like blood...
What were you saying about checking in again? The world isn’t Facebook perfect.
Let the woman rest and her family mourn in peace.
I am going to value my friends and family more and try to be a brother to all I meet. It is time for us to be more community minded.
