A Nigerian lawyer cum caregiver, Chidimma Susan Ezenyili, fondly called Suzy, has been confirmed dead after slumping at Scott Road in the United Kingdom.
Suzy, 37, was said to have collapsed while taking care of an 86-year-old woman, Ian Hale, at Scott Road on February 22 and died two days later.
It was gathered that the caregiver was rushed to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, where medical professionals discovered the devastating extent of her condition.
It was revealed that Suzy had suffered a severe brain haemorrhage, leaving her family and community reeling from the shocking news.
It was learnt that Suzy, who later died in the hospital after efforts of medical personnel to save her life failed, migrated to the UK and had been caring for Hale for the past five months.

Hale’s daughter, Catherine Segal, said: “She (Ezenyili) was driven there by her husband with their three-year-old daughter as she wasn’t feeling well but didn’t want to let my dad down.”
She further disclosed that the caregiver collapsed on Thursday, February 22, and stopped breathing and did not have a pulse.
She added: “Naturally, her husband started shouting for help. The neighbourhood raced to help. Myself and my husband ran outside along with our next-door neighbour and our neighbour from across the road.
“We had two GoodSAM first responders arrive shortly after to assist. The community first responder along with several ambulances, police and the critical care team arrived to take over attempts to save her life and were successful in getting her on life support in the ambulance.
“Suzy came here as a carer to fill a need in our community. She was qualified in law in Nigeria and was planning to attain her qualifications to practise law here after her sponsorship as a carer finished.
“She was a really good carer. Kind, considerate and always willing to help no matter what the circumstances.”
In his narration, Segal’s husband, Saul said: “Sadly, life support was turned off two days later, on February 24, and she passed with her husband by her side.”
