St. Lucia: According to a report on the Mail Online Sarah Thomas, a British Lawyer who had quit her city career for a fresh life in the Caribbean has died in a 100ft cliff fall.
At 10:00hrs on Christmas Day, 46-year-old Thomas, lost her footing while picking herbs from the garden of her villa.
Sarah Thomas attended a party with her new husband of five months, on Christmas Eve night. According to a neighbour, Sarah began to prepare some food when they returned home on Christmas morning and she went to the garden to pick some herbs for the meal when she fell down.
Her husband, who is said to be unemployed, was seen pacing around the cliff top of their large £350,000 villa, with his head in his hands shortly after the tragedy.
The report said that Mrs. Thomas was born in Preston, Lancashire, and graduated from Nottingham University. After a high-flying career in tax law, she became a partner at ‘Big Four’ accountancy firm Ernst & Young from 1997 to 2008, where average profits for partners are £663,000 a year. She then moved to rival firm Alvarez & Marsal Taxand. She emigrated to St Lucia in December 2010, and married Mr. Thomas in an exclusive spa resort on the island in July. She still owned a £1 million house in Clapham, South-West London, which she rented out.
St Lucia police said her death was an accident and that they are not seeking suspects.
The Mail online reported that yesterday her parents William and Christine Pickering and sister Alison said they were ‘devastated’ by her death. Her mother, who lives in Ashton-on-Ribble in Lancashire, said: ‘Sarah had been incredibly happy with Kevin. St Lucia was her home. She moved there in 2010 and had a wonderful wedding last summer. She loved Kevin and loved the island.
