A Belize City man initially reported missing then found hospitalized at the K.H.M.H. has died.  Joel Aguilar had been in coma for several days. His family believes he was ambushed and beaten, but police have been having a hard time ascertaining what really transpired in his case. 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“I communicate with Mr. Cowo regularly and I know that they were making checks. But, from what they were told, the young man was in a state of unconsciousness and could not answer any questions or anything. So there was nothing we could have gotten from him. The police were out within the community searching for clues, searching for answers, to try and ascertain what had transpired to the young man. At this time we have still not been able to find out what actually happened. Our investigation in that matter continues.”
