A longstanding employee of the Magdalena Grand Beach and Golf Resort in Tobago, Liz Clarke, tragically collapsed and died on Thursday night in the resort’s parking lot, just moments after completing work duties.

Clarke, a payroll clerk who had served at the resort for several years, was found lying motionless near her car. Initial reports suggest she suffered a sudden medical episode.

Acting General Manager Jason Martin told TV6 News that Clarke had been asked repeatedly if she was feeling well. “She mentioned she was fighting the flu, but insisted on finishing her payroll tasks, which were due the following day,” Martin said.
