Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that a 44-year-old St. Lucian educator, who was there for a short-term Mandarin training programme, had been found dead on the streets of the capital but that foul play has been ruled out.
MOFA in a statement said it had expressed its condolences to the St. Lucia government after the official, identified by the Embassy of St. Lucia in Taiwan as Leonard Robinson, was found dead on December 12.
Mr Robinson's body was found lying on the ground.
He was pronounced dead after being rushed to a nearby hospital.
