Man plunges to death at Vaca Dam

There is another death in Benque Viejo Town and it is classified as a case of sudden death. The victim is Guatemalan labourer, forty-nine year old Emilio Borrallos of Suchitan Guatemala. Borrallos, who was employed at the Vaca Dam, reportedly fell to his death on Sunday. Officer Commanding the Benque police, Inspector Claudio Mai, says Borrallos was working when he slipped more than twenty feet below and suffered head injuries.

Inspector Claudio Mai
“A Guatemalan who dropped coming down the walls of the Vaca Hydro, fifty-nine years old. He lost his life; he succumbed to his wounds at the Loma Luz Hospital. He was coming down trying to turn off a welding machine—he was an assistant to a welder—and in so doing in the morning, they work all night so I don’t know what happened. He just slipped and fell to the ground.”

Police do not suspect foul play.
