MAXINE LASHLEY was battling cancer, but according to a close family member it was the recent death of her son Romario Lashley which ultimately took her life.
Lashley passed away at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital yesterday around 4 p.m., two weeks after burying her son, who was killed by police.
According to the family member who requested anonymity, Maxine’s cancer had been in remission. However, since the shooting death of her son on July 26, he said Maxine’s cancer had returned.
Romario, 20, had been on the police’s wanted list when he met his death after police executed a search warrant at 4th Avenue, Harts Gap, Christ Church. (RB)
