posted (December 29, 2014)
The body of a dead 37 year old was found in Belize City this afternoon. The discovery was made at around 1:00 in the afternoon on Eve Street where police found a lifeless body decomposing inside a two-storey wooden structure.

Those in the area told the media that the family had gone to celebrate the Christmas holidays in Guatemala and returned this morning to find their family member, identified only as Walter Humberto, apparently dead.

Walter Humberto was reportedly acting as caretaker for the house while the family was away.

Police stood guard at the scene for more than two hours, and eventually, around 3:15 p.m., the body of the 37 year old was taken away, presumably for a post-mortem examination.

No information has been released so far by authorities but indications are that there was no sign of injury on the body and it is believed that excessive alcohol intake may have played a role in his demise.
