15 year old drowns in Cayo
A fifteen-year-old boy from San Antonio village in Cayo has drowned in the Macal River. According to Benque police, Elias Tzib and his twenty six year old cousin Aniceto, went on a fishing trip near Duploy’s Resort on Wednesday morning. On the return journey, however, Elias complained of cramps while they were swimming across the river and, despite frantic rescue attempts by Aniceto, went under water. A search of the area turned up the body of Tzib not far from where he drowned. While the corpse awaits a post mortem examination, police say they do not suspect foul play was involved.
