Today a post mortem was conducted on the body of Ernest Conorquie - a man in his 30's who fell from a lamppost on Sunday night and died. The post mortem will determine whether he was electrocuted or if he died from the fall.
It happened on Rivero street near the junction with Kraal Road in the Port Loyola Area of Belize City.
And why was he on that lamp-post? Well, he was trying to steal electricity for his home which had reportedly been without power for some time. It's highly dangerous, and also illegal but stealing power from a variety of sources is a way of life for many on Belize City's southside.
His family denied requests for an interview today - but friends told us he was a working man who was trying to provide for his family.
