Altreed Williams was found dead in a drain on Lawrence Avenue in Belize City on Saturday afternoon. He was found outside his car, and half his body was in the drain. Police say it is a sudden death and foul play is not suspected. But, there is some suggestion that his death could have been preceded by a police beating some weeks earlier. Police denied that possibility:
ASP Alejandro Cowo, Officer Commanding CIB
"On Saturday, sometime after 3pm in the evening, the police found a body by Lawrence Avenue, which was identified as Altreed Williams. The body was viewed and there were no signs of injuries or anything on the body. As far as we know there is no report or anyone made any report to police stating that he was beaten 3 weeks ago by any police, not even a complaint to the PSB office, nor to the uniform section. We understand from the family members that he had been suffering from some kind of seizures and that he had suffered two seizures on that Saturday, one in the morning and one in the evening where they found his body."
