Unidentified body found in Mopan River

Tonight, Benque Viejo police need your help in identifying a man found floating in the Mopan River. According to the cops, around three-thirty Monday afternoon, they pulled the body of a fully dressed Hispanic man from the water after receiving several reports from area residents. The deceased was wearing a pair of green jeans pants, a light coloured t-shirt and brown shoes. Because the body was in an advanced state of decomposition, identification has proved challenging, and the police are asking anyone who can assist to please contact the nearest station or visit the San Ignacio hospital. Presently, authorities are investigating whether the man was living in Belize or the victim of deadly circumstances across the border.
