The death of a University of the West Indies (UWI) lecturer has sent shock waves across academia.

Earlier this week, when former students of Dr Sarah Sutrina found out that the American educator had died, many of them took to Facebook to express their sadness.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that Sutrina was one of the female bodies discovered in St Lucy on Monday.

Police however have not yet officially announced her passing, but it is understood they recently visited the Cave Hill Campus to carry out investigations.

The Saturday Sun understands that after their visit, the staff was informed about her death via an internal memo.

The university also has not released an official statement about her passing.
