Fisherman dies of heart attack during storm

Police have identified a man who was found dead, slumped over the side of his boat, on the Haulover Creek early this morning. Forty-six year old Redford Everett, a fisherman from Ladyville, was discovered by authorities shortly after midnight. He was found inside his skiff near the Bowen and Bowen compound with the engine still idling. Authorities say they did not observe any visible signs of injury on Everett’s body and initially believed that he was electrocuted during a lightning storm that was occurring around the same time in that area of Belize City. A post-mortem examination, however, has determined that Everett died from a heart attack.
