It was also said that Ezenyili, also known as Suzy, was a Nigerian lawyer before she migrated to the UK.
Speaking about Suzy’s demise, Hale’s daughter, Catherine Segal, said:
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.
Suzy was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, where doctors discovered she had suffered a severe brain haemorrhage.
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.
