The Saint Lucia media fraternity is in mourning after the deaths of Victor Marquis and Denish Monlouis.<\/p>\n
A family member said Monlouis, in his early fifties, died Thursday morning at the OKEU Hospital, where he was in intensive care.<\/p>\n
He had worked at several media houses, including Choice Television, the Government Information Service, and Winners TV, where he was the Production Lead.<\/p>\n
A colleague at Winners TV said that the death came as a shock.<\/p>\n
He recalled that Monlouis was a professional with whom it was a pleasure to work.<\/p>\n
The colleague told St. Lucia Times that the deceased’s frequent assertion was, “When it comes to my work, I don’t play!”<\/p>\n
The colleague said the death and that of several other media workers in recent times had caused him to reflect on his own life and rethink how he was living.<\/p>\n
Monlouis died while a GoFundMe initiative was underway to raise money for his medical care overseas.<\/p>\n
According to the GoFundMe page, on October 9th, he suffered from a stroke that led to a devastating fall, was hospitalised, placed in a coma, and suffered from severe bleeding in his brain.<\/p>\n
Victor Marquis, a former Voice Newspaper Editor, died on Sunday at his home In Pavee, Castries.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the newspaper paid tribute to him, describing Marquis as ‘a prolific writer, author, critical thinker, funny man and all round great human being to be around.’<\/p>\n
