“Reference the sudden death of Israel Chuc that occurred in San Ignacio, police visited the Branch Mouth where they found him lying apparently dead.  He was observed with some injuries to the neck; however, we understand that he had previously visited the hospital complaining about some injuries on himself.  We believe that no foul play is suspected in his death.  At present the post mortem will be conducted today so we are awaiting the post mortem results.  But there are no other injuries on the body that we can observe that can lead to any other believed to be any homicide or any murder.”
