Villager dies trying to swim across river
A resident of Santa Familia in the Cayo District has died, apparently of drowning. According to an eyewitness, on Friday evening, twenty-four year old Ronaldo Landero jumped in the Belize River and began to swim across. He reached halfway but then went under and did not resurface. Despite a weekend of searching, Landero’s corpse was not found until Monday, about two miles downstream from where he entered the water. The body awaits a post-mortem but police do not suspect foul play.
