Around six-thirty this morning, Corozal police responded to the community center in Xaibe Village where they discovered the lifeless body of forty-four-year-old Feliciano Tzul.  When the officers investigated the incident they learned that Tzul had been drinking with some friends around eight a.m. on Sunday morning.  When it began raining an hour later, the men proceeded to the nearby community center where they sought shelter.  Later on that day, the men reportedly left Tzul in a stupor.  It wasn’t until this morning that his motionless body was found at the same location.  Assistant Superintendent Fitzroy Yearwood shared a few details with the media this morning.

“The information that was passed down to me was that when police arrived at an area near the community center, they saw the body of Feliciano Cristino Tzul, forty-three years old.  No signs of violence, but he was in a crouched position, a seated position on the ground.  We know that they haven’t observed any obvious signs of physical violence but, like I said, they are still processing that scene and hopefully by the end of today we will get a formal report from them.”
