At the top of our newscast, we told you how San Ignacio police are investigating the murder of Samir Fernandez. Well, the investigators have been looking into the death of a Hispanic man believed to be Salvadoran, who his friends knows only as "Alexander".
He was found bleeding from the head at a house on Awe Street in San Ignacio on Sunday morning. Dennis Guzman, the man who has been allowed him to stay at that house, discovered him clinging to life, and he rushed Alexander to the San Ignacio Hospital. His head injury claimed his life half an hour later.
Police don't suspect foul-play at this time, but that does not mean that they have not placed some level of priority on it. The Commander explained what they have been able to find out so far:
Supt. Dinsdale Thompson
"A Honduran individual, Mr. Alex - we are still following up on that investigation in relating to his true identity. That's one of the things that are holding us up in relation to identifying if this Alex is indeed the Alex who the individual know his as. What have happen so far that we have determined that he was a long with friends drinking and the friends they depart companionship during the night and then he went to his home. The individual who was along with him said that he saw him (Alex) when he went inside of his home and then from there he woke up the morning and found out that Alex was inside of his bed bleeding, but still alive from a wound on his head. We are following up that whether or not it is caused by someone or Alex indeed have fell which certain indications are showing that he have fell and hot his head upon a stone because of being under the influence of alcohol."
The reason that the Hispanic man is known only as Alexander is because that's the name he gave to Dennis Guzman a few weeks ago when he begged lodging.
A post-mortem has been conducted, and the medical examiner has certified that he died from "subarachnoid hemorrhage due to multiple trauma (as a consequence of) blunt instrument type."
That doesn't clearly say accident, and neither does it point to violence, and so investigators keep searching for answers.
