The Netball fraternity in Dominica is grieving over the sudden death of former national Netball player Dinnia Joseph-Hamilton.
According to reports reaching Nature Isle News (NIN) Dinny as she was most affectionately known and called by all died at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital (DCFC) on July 6, 2022, she was aged 52. She is survived by her daughter Precious.
In a Facebook post, her friend national player Arthlyn Nesty posted, “feeling heartbroken.”
“You made me like Netball and play for Dominica before I left to live abroad, we got closer through the Celtics Netball team. Your passion for law, our private conversation times, and your love for cooking. You were a true friend, a positive person, ambitious, loving, and kind. I am heartbroken this morning…I am in shock, I will miss you. Rest in Eternal Peace, my friend. “
Reports are that she was involved in a motor vehicular accident and was taken to the DCFH and suffered some injuries.
Her husband Myke known to many as “Chef” is devastated and is yet to come to grips with the loss of his wife.
Dinnia was married to Myke Hamilton and the couple operates a business in Massacre. NIN extends deepest condolences to Myke, the Netball fraternity in Dominica, and by extension, the family and friends of Dinnia, may you find strength and comfort in the Lord in this time of “pain and grief.”
Please note that this is a very strange occurrence and judgment should not be made so quickly about the reason for her death. The police should investigate her death. Dinnia, was a very kind and loving person. She worked very hard and always was dedicated to whatever task she took up. There was the other side of Dinnia, The Private Side……The car accident she had was very minor and she was not hurt in anyway. Infact, witness saw her coming out of the car by herself. The accident was nothing serious. Her husband came to the accident scene and then left with her and apparently took her home.
I concur. And how are you going to put out an article without mentioning her daughter? Very very suspicious.
I agree
Well if there’s foul play, I hope the autopsy will pick that up too 🥲
The editor deleted most as my comments on my first post. So I will repost

You all are aware that a concussion could kill her right? She may have walked away with internal injuries
Thank you very much for your comments. This is the thing that angers me the most about reading the news or listening to the radio from my country, everybody is an expert. This is annoying. If you do not have expertise in an area you should not be speaking like you are an authority. Something simple as a punctured organ could kill someone slowly. Years ago there was this gentleman, a teacher, Mr. Peter who along with a group had an accident in the Castle Bruce area. He helped multiple people out of the bus after which he collapsed. He died. Stop this foolishness man. This is how you start and convince yourselves of stuff and when it is actually investigated and you are proven wrong you dig in by accusing people of coverups.
I last spoke with Dinnia at her office about 2 weeks ago and only if I knew that this was going to be the last time that I was going to see her alive, then I would have missed my bus ride home and spend that extra time with her. I knew that something bad was going on with my friend and she was trying to hide it. No relationship is perfect and every relationship has issues. And as strong women, we tend to hide the wrongs of our spouse. To all women, if your in an abusive relationship and you need to get out of it, as for help. Rest in Paradise my dear friend
Very sad indeed. It is not rocket science to figure out what was really going on with Dinnia. No wrongs will ever be unpunished and people can get away with so much, only for a time. Who the Cap Fit, will certainly wear it. “Just watch at people’s actions in the coming days” and you will get all the answers that is needed. I am so sorry my friend that you had to go through all this. May your soul rest in peace. Love, Respect and Blessing always
Rest easy my classmate. No words
I was in a similar situation to Dinnia and I was just too scared to get out of it.
Lesson learned.
Dinnia was an amazing athlete, an excellent mother; She was intelligent, kind and well respected. She will be greatly missed by myself along with all her family, friends and colleagues in the sports and legal field.
I hope that the reason for her death will not be written in stone, until all stones are uncovered.
Rest in peace Dinnia, you will never be forgotten.
Editor’s NOTE
We had to edit this post to ensure that no one was slandered. To those who are writing comments, Nature Isle News reserves the right to edit comments that we feel are slanderous etc.
Condolence goes out to Dinnia’s love ones and friends; especially her daughter. I am sad to hear of your passing. I understand that you were very stressed, scared and uncomfortable in your particular situation. God don’t sleep and whatever is in the dark will show in the light. Violence against women should not be accepted, Period!. May your gentle soul rest in peace.
Against all odds you kept silent; Against all odds you were private; Against all odds you had pride. Keeping silent, being private and having pride are the perfect “recipe” for a bad situation, to get worst. I just found out today that you died and my heart is broken 💔. I am sure a few of us wish we knew in detail what was actually going on, so we could have stepped in and change this outcome. There are many of us, questioning your sudden death and this is alarming. You kept a brave face and went about your business like the true Celtic you were. It must have just been the close competitive edge you had and the determination to succeed. Like a Netball game, you hid your fears well and faced your challenges head-on. No domestic violence will clip your wings as you were a God-Sent. Fly on my angel, Fly. Gone to soon, Rest In Peace.
Sympathies, condolences, Love and Kindness goes out to all Dinnia’s family and friends.
Dinnia was a very quiet individual who was always willing to lend a helping hand. She was well respected in the legal field and well know in the game of Netball.
The lesson learnt from this is that DON’T KEEP SILENT, if your in a violent domestic situation. Because it could possibly cost you, YOUR LIFE.
If you are presently SILENT about your current VIOLENT domestic situation, It is time to SPEAK UP and ask for help.
Dinnia’s passing will not keep her SILENT NO MORE. Her Soul will Rest in Peace
Sleep well Dinnia and enjoy the after-life. It is unfortunate how things turned out for you. Rest in Peace
Relationships in life can be very challenging at times and trying your best to make it work, does not make sense sometimes; As old habits die hard. Dinnia tried her best and kept quiet about those unlimited beatings, those barrage of demeaning name calling and the regular embarrassing moments. She kept her head down mostly and at times kept a smiled continuously, not because she was happy but because she felt like she had no other choice.
I know people will question why stay in a relationship after all this but fear is fear and you never know what it feels like till your in the situation. To Dinnia’s family, friends, co-workers and Netball associates please accept my sympathy as she was one of the good ones. Very humble, kind, considerate and loving. She gave so much and accepted very little.
I certainly hope that justice will prevail as this wrong should never go silent.
Yes I said it… Justice for Dinnia…. May her soul rest peacefully in paradise
are you all kidding me ? How did Dinner get into this relationship ? Do not forget you sow what you reap. Explain to me how great a person Dennis was and how she got to be with Mike and Marry him .Whole set of hypocrite Dominicans
You reap what you sis what they did to the first wife and child that came back to haunt them .God does not sleep broke up a marriage and relationship over fifteen years still prevented him from taking care of his only daughter even going to stand up by court while the wife trying to get support for the eight year old child now all you saying how much of a saint she was lay ban moddera Dominicans. Karma is a bitch.She was too ashamed after she realised the lies he told her to break up the marriage and then four years into hers she saw the truth she was not trapped she was ashamed. Come for me for me to give it to all of you.
I just found out of the passing of Dinnia and read all the comments and my heart goes out to her immediate family at this time. Though everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I don’t think “Diva’s” comments were warranted nor how someone got into a relationship justifies getting abused someone goes through. I don’t know what Dinnia was going through nor knew who she was in a relationship with but based on most of the comments on here, it sure sounds to me that the sudden passing of Dinnia is questionable and should be investigated. We all must learn to respect the dead and have personal dignity. I pray for love and caring for all at this emotional time. I am not perfect, nor was Dinnia or anyone in fact. But we are all humans and all should be our brothers and sisters keeper. God-Speed Dinnia , my your souls rest gently in peace.
Rest Easy Dinnia, you were a good soul. We shall meet again. Condolences goes out to your daughter and the rest of your family.
Condolences goes out to all Dinnia’s family and friends. I got to know Dinnia for a short period of time through business as she handled some of my family legal affairs in Dominica. She was very humble, honest and always considerate. She was a legal professional you could count on. It is always sad to hear of the passing of someone you know but you can always rest assure that they are in a better place. Rest in peace Dinnia, God is great all the time. Safe journey!
