A WOMAN died in hospital after reportedly smashing a glass window, leaving her with serious injuries to her arm. Last night, police said they were investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, which they have classified as a “sudden death”.
The Tribune understands the deceased woman is Zephenia Dean, 31. According to police, the woman died in hospital on Saturday. “According to reports, shortly after 8pm (Saturday), a woman was at a residence Butterfly Close off Soldier Road, when she allegedly smashed the glass window to a home causing serious injuries to her arm,” the Royal Bahamas Police Force said in a statement released last night.
“Paramedics transported the injured woman to hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries.”
Investigations into the matter are ongoing.

In my opinion, there should be penalties for sharing such videos as this is a violation of human rights of victims (dead or alive). Under Clause 155 under Australian law it is a crime for failing to help a person in danger see below:
"Clause 155 of the NT Criminal Code Act now imposes a general duty to rescue, stating that any person who is able to provide rescue, resuscitation, medical treatment, first aid or succour of any kind to a person who is urgently in need of it and whose life may be endangered but “callously fails to act” is committing an offence. The maximum penalty is seven years imprisonment – which has been described by one judge as the heaviest punishment for an equivalent offence in the world."
Maybe this is something the Bahamas should consider as a means to put a stop to this terrible behavior.
