Corozal shotgun death believed accidental

Another sudden death, this time in Corozal, is being classified by police as a tragic accident. Forty-four year old Roberto Correa of San Roman Village died early this morning from a shotgun blast to his chest. According to police, Correa, a truck driver, arrived home from his farm around five-thirty this morning. His family heard a gunshot and ran out of the house only to see him lying in a pool of blood near the truck. The family observed no one else in the vicinity and they say Correa had no known enemies. Police theorize that he may have dropped his shotgun while climbing out of the truck and it discharged on impact. They are continuing to investigate the incident.
