Orange Walk was especially busy this weekend, because the body of 43 year-old Gregorio Medina was found in the banks of the river in the Trial Farm area.
His family believes that this Orange Walk resident was killed because they have identified what looks like a huge gash on his head. Police aren't so sure, and today, they shared their information on Medina's death with us:
ACP Joseph Myvette - OC, Northern Police Region
"Shortly after six-fifteen pm on yesterday's date Police received information of a body floating in the river in the Trial Farm area of Orange Walk. Upon arrival in the Trial Farm area Police saw a body floating in the river. Upon closer examination of the body, it was revealed that it was partially decomposed in the face and shoulders. The body was later identified as that of Gregorio Medina of Orange Walk Town. The body is still awaiting a post-mortem examination as we speak but there were no visible signs of injuries."
This evening, we confirmed with ACP Myvett that the medical examination was completed. According to Myvett, the doctor has certified that Medina died from - and we'll just quote from the examination here "moderate & advance visceral general conception as a consequence of mild decomposition and chronic alcoholism." We're can't say for sure what that really means, but it suggests that he didn't die of foul-play
