The woman, identified by police as Dawn Sturgess, 44, was exposed to the nerve agent earlier this week in Amesbury after handling a contaminated item.
“This is shocking and tragic news. Dawn leaves behind her family, including three children, and our thoughts and prayers are with them at this extremely difficult time,” UK Counter Terrorism head assistant commissioner Neil Basu said Sunday.
Charles Rowley, 45, who was also exposed to the nerve agent, remains hospitalized in critical condition, police said.
