On Friday we told you about the body of a man that was found hanging from a rope off the San Estevan Road. Police have since identified the man as 65 year old Mauricio Merino, a Salvadorian Mechanic of Bautista Lane in Orange Walk Town. At the conclusion of an onsite postmortem authorities were still unable to certify the cause of death due to the advanced state of decomposition. The body was only identified with help from Gilberto Arnold the Landlord of the deceased and a cellphone that was found near the decomposing body. The landlord said that Merino had not been seen for over 3 weeks. Police have still not established how he ended up hanging from a tree branch near the San Estevan Bridge - but they have no indication that foul play was involved.
