Man Injured in 2012 Accident Dies
posted (June 19, 2014)
The toll that Rosewood has taken on the environment and social ecology of southern Belize probably won't be known for decades - but tonight Rosewood opponents are saying that it has led to a death, however inadvertent it may have been. In January of 2012, Jacintoville Resident Antonio Edwards and his 3-year-old son were returning home from church when a flatbed pickup truck carrying Rosewood barreled around a corner and a rosewood flitch came flying his way. The flitch struck Edwards on both his legs and shattered several bones in different places. His 3 year-old child who he was carrying was flung off his shoulder, but luckily the toddler escaped unhurt.

When we met him in February, he was awaiting a costly surgery.

According to Wil Maheia of PGTV, Edwards passed away on Wednesday evening leaving behind a wife and four children.
