35 year old Canadian visitor Jeffrey Fergala died earlier this week at the KHMH. That's after he sustained a head injury while in police custody. Police said he was very drunk when they picked him up on Saturday night. They say he fell when he tried to stand up in his cell. That was around 1:00 am on Sunday, but police did not take note of his condition until 6:00 am - by which time he was already motionless in his cell. He died two days later at the KHMH. His family - who came to Belize for the body - has told the media that they don't want to do any interviews - and they ask that the media leave the story alone until the investigation is complete. Well, they probably don't know that some investigations are never complete - and police haven't even released the result of his post mortem! They have however given the standard undertaking to conduct criminal and internal investigations.
But some new information on Fergala is coming from CTV News in Canada. Here's the report they put together:..

The image of him presented in that story differs sharply from the one provided by police - who somehow seemed to know of him as a heavy drinker.
Fergala was in Belize for two weeks building a home in the Calla Creek Area.
