Fifteen year old student drowns in the Sibun River
An afternoon outing with family and friends on Sunday ended in tragedy for one Belize City teenager. Shortly after two o’clock Sunday afternoon, fifteen year old student Ji Pang Zhoa, was bathing in the Sibun River near the Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary at mile thirty one on the Western Highway, when he disappeared under the water and did not resurface. A search of the area turned up his lifeless body ten minutes later. Zhoa was dead on arrival at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital.
