According to Punch, the woman was a worker in a sachet water factory before she killed herself. A
resident of the area said people in the area
started to distance themselves from her after the outbreak of
Ebola in Lagos which was brought into the country by a Liberian. They also started avoiding her because of her ill health, a situation believed to have frustrated her enough to commit suicide.
"We see her in this neighbourhood every day. I used to see her every day in the dress she died in.She always looked sick but people stopped selling to her after the Ebola outbreak. It could be because she was Liberian and looked sickly. This might have frustrated her.”

*My R1.50c comment*
May her soul rest in peace. I know what it means or feels like to be discriminated.
This is really sad if she actually killed herself due to stigmatization from her Neighbors. This is what the Lagos State government is talking about, stop this EVD discrimination, haba.She dint choose to come from Liberia, anyone of us could have come from the EVD Countries. When Nigerians were being quarantined outside the country during EVD outbreak in Nigeria that was brought in by the Liberian -American (Late Sawyer) we all cursed the whites so why do the same to a fellow African who probably has been resident in Nigeria before EVD outbreak in her country. People cursed the Oil and Gas company where Denis Late Nurse fiancee worked when he tested positive to EVD because of the same discrimination because he is Nigerian, but, this Woman who we are not sure she has the Virus was been treated that way.We should grow up and learn to accommodate people. Later we will be abusing the government but we the citizens are worse. May her soul rest in peace. Helen
Hmmmm wat a poor woman RIP...olubukola daniels aka blackmamba...

OMG...The power of stigmatization
And dey are dere watching instead of bringing her down. My God! Nigerians. Never cease to amaze me. Bunch of nuisance and illiterates. Rest in peace woman
na woa ooo
Is like she is infected with ebola
#skaler#
Eeya. This is sad oh
Na waaaaaaa
Ebola and its many tales
This is so sad. How can this happen? Did she choose to be a citizen of Liberia. Why are Nigerians so swallow minded. Her been from Liberia does not make her EVD positive nauh. God why are some Nigerians so wicked then later we accuse our government when in the actual fact this wickedness is in born.
This is what Lagos State government is talking about DISCRIMINATION!!!! Please Governor Fashola should start arresting people for this.
When Nigerians were being quarantined at international airports when they travel out of the country, we cursed the whites but now we do same to our own follow Africans.
When the Oil and Gas company Denis (Late Nurse fiancee) worked with were not relating with him, we cursed and said it was unfair. But now we stigmatize a fellow black (African) who we are not sure has EVD just because she is from Liberia.
Why can't we learn to love others, if we her neighbors were not sure of her status they should have told the government and she too could have been on the watch list and they will be able to confirm if she has it or not.
Okay lets say she actually had EVD what about her co-tenants are they not at risk too. Foolish and senseless neighbors later they will say they are educated or that they do not want to die.
too bad, effects of stigmatization
LIFE.
stigmatization can be vry grave....nt alot of pple have the heart to handle it....RIP kate....i hope u in a better place now
REALLY SAD!THIS STIGMATIZATION MUST STOP........EBOLA MAY SOON NOT BE THE CAUSE OF DEATH IN OUR SOCIETY ANYMORE........BEING CAUTIOUS DOESN'T MEAN HATING,PREVENTIVE MEASURES NOT INHUMANE! SHOW A STANDARD TODAY! SHOW LOVE..
Na wa o. Rip
Awwww! How the society push people to egoistic suicide.
May her soul rest in peace.

Son of Solomon
Very sad. The world need love
May God forgive her sins n grant her eternal rest.
Stigmatization kills faster than any dreaded disease...God have mercy on her soul. RIP
If u have ever been a victim of stigmatisation,u wouldn't be here spewing trash.just remember how u felt when LIBers insulted you because u take girlie pictures.dat was just cyber bullying but i bet u stayed home all week.
How will nigerians feel if ghanaians also decide to treat nigerians in our midst this way.i swear if i see a nigerian on KNUST campus i won't spare the person a second look.
I can't commit suicide, afterall we must die someday. Why d hurry?
This life wey turkey dey....
Hmmm.. So sad!
Maybe she had an in curable disease but not Ebola as she looks quite sickly. Nigerians can stigmatise with ignorance! So sad
What a shame people still discriminate in a dark gabage zoo as Nigeria, rip dear, bullying is a crime folks don't bully anyone cos you think your better than him or her. I regret reading this today
Ewooo! I feel for her. It's stigmatization and nothing more. I experienced that too. I took permission from my office to travel to Enugu for a wedding...at my return every body in the office started avoiding me until they noticed I didn't hv a atom sickness.
This is truly sad.haba
No its not possible,its likely she killed herself during early hours.
@ Anon 1.50pm, you said my mind. i looked at the picture and wondered how on earth she was able to get up on the tree and over the gutter without the help of a chair or ladder? or in the event she kicked it away (ladder or stool/chair)it is not seen in the picttures. It is highly unlikely somebody took time to move the evidence since all and sundry were scared of her. Looks to me like she was ''assisted to the grave'' by some unscrupulous elements who thought they were doing the society a favor by getting rid of her. This smacks of MURDER and not suicide. RIP to the departed and may God forgive her killers.
Please lets stop rejecting people,and if we find anything wrong with someone,we should please call the appropriate authority and Stop Stigmatization...It kills
Godwin you are a big fool. You're gay. I hate you with a passion. You take girl like pictures and wear skinny jeans. Female skinny jeans for that matter. I swear if I see you around me I can break your head cos I hate guys that act feminine
So simply becos she's a liberian, u won't associate with her... that's really dumb n pathetic. she's bn in Nigeria 4 a while even b4 d Ebola outbreak.... m pretty sure ur in support of those people stigmatising the west Africans that hv been abroad 4 a very long time... I guess ur just 2 dumb 2 realize that Ebola is not as a result of nationality. A.B
Very sad situation but this Mrs sawyer comment made me laugh hard. No offence. Rest in peace to her

Wow so sad....nd sone fools were takin pictures
Sad event
Painful
BORN TO SHINE!!!!
Life is tooo sweet to kill urself besides it's a free gift frm God! Wat u did is soo wrong ma ba Rip
You won't really blame Nigerians, looking at how much damage Ebola has caused already.
Amen.
Ignoramus! She has been in that area well before this EVD outbreak. So how would she have caught it? Is it genetic to Liberians? Idiat!
And they allowed little children at this type of scene? Nigerians!!!
Pastor bishop haven't u heard about "Don't call the name of ur FATHER in vain!!!
Fake thing!!!
#RIP
Does dat mean dat any Liberian person in d country is Patrick Sawyer? Why did u kill dat woman wit stigmatization, if u r among those dat refuses to cell something to her better pray 4 forgiveness
She tested positive to hiv, that's why she killed herself
I agree. It's ironic that a day after Lagos state government warns against stigmatization this happens. #conspiracy I don't think she killed herself. How did she get up that tree? Lots of questions about the crime scene.
I'm a Nigerian living in Ghana n I couldn't care less wat u or anyoda ghanian do wit urselves.
Shame on the people who treated her badly....shame on the people who stood there taking pictures and shame in you Linda for posting her picture on your blog...at least have some RESPECT for the dead.
Sometimes we Nigerians do not use our number 6!!!
You do know that this comment u posted makes u a hypocrite right?
Even if she had HIV, she shouldn't have killed herself.ls a pity she is gone but she should have talked to somebody in her church or mosque.RIP
mbom o!!!!
The neighbors should have informed the right authority about her maybe that would have saved her.At least they would have screened her for Ebola and if she is negative refer her to HIV center.
U have a brain full of cashew nuts.
It's not enough to kill herself.
now i see d reason y lagos state govt put that penalty in place. people drove this woman to her death. but then again no one wants to die. sawyer shld be blamed for this, cos he deliberately brought ebola to nigeria
The really sick thing to me is people gathering there and discussing or staring not minding that the body is exposed to even children! Are we really that disconnected from humanity?
Clearly this woman was murdered and later hung to make it look like a suicide. How did that old woman climb up that tree and what did she stand on before jumping off? And people who keep blaming Sawyer are not serious. If he was resident in the US why would you all think that he would come to Nigeria for treatment? My belief is if he hadn't slumped at our airport on his way to the US no one would have known anything. What else do u want his wife to say? That yes her husband was trying to bring Ebola to the US?
But Lind, you covered Mily Cyrus' nasty ass, but show this woman hanging from a tree? Why?
No rizon is enuf non watsoeva 4 person to tk his/her may her soul RIP
HEW, HOW VERY SAD.
Anytin wey come Naija dey get K-leg.So every sickness now na ebola,abi na bcos she come frm wia ebola strt(Liberia).Na wa ooo..Rest in peace lady.
U guyz should stop arguing over nothing ..d woman had her reasons to take her life..am pretty sure is not bcos of Ebola ishh and d rest...its well
I strongly believe she was murdered tooo
