Still, Rodriguez appears to have hanged himself. Before that, he had been on the street battling mental illness. In moments of clarity, he would visit the man who raised him when he was a baby. Courtney Menzies spoke to him today and has this story.

26-year-old Tyrique Rodriguez was found dead in a cell at the Belize Central Prison. Reports say that he hanged himself around 11 last night.

Rodriguez was remanded on the 19th after he was charged for possession of 0.3 grams of crack cocaine. He was granted bail of $500 but was unable to post it. He was placed in a psychiatric cell alone since he was mentally ill.

Rodriguez isn't a stranger to the Kings Park neighborhood he grew up. He is always walking the streets and sometimes doing odd jobs. His ex-stepfather told us off camera that he usually comes by Alaska Shop and the last time he saw him was on Monday before his arrest.

"We were here having a few drinks after my bicycle race and we spoke to him and he came with a dress that I didn't like, he had on a blouse and I told him please go and change that. He said he would come back and that was the last I saw him Sunday. And then after that, Monday he was here in the morning, Wednesday I didn't see him then yesterday those guys said, how come Tyrique hasn't come around yet? We didn't know. But usually he would go for a couple days and then come back but here he usually comes and we help him. We give him money from time to time, we give him food, we change his clothes, he let him take a bath and here is where he used to come, by the Alaska shop."

"He was being treated by the Ministry of Health because sometimes the van would come around and see him and tell him come and he would get his injection. Once he gets his injection, he would tell you he's hungry, wants a coke, and he wants to sleep. And then you wouldn't see him for a couple days and then you would see him coming around again."

Gabourel explained that it was a shock to hear that he'd been in prison, and even more so that he had apparently taken his own life.

"When they called and told me he's in prison and he hung himself, I was like, man, sad. I had to go and identify the body and everything and then I realized it was him and it's really sad. But that's the best I could say about him, he never troubled anybody and I know that he's an acquaintance at Queen Street because most people know him as a mental patient and police would take him there then after a while you see he comes out back so I don't how he reached prison and they said he hung himself. To me, I don't really see it but only the good lord knows better and if they go into further investigation then I guess they will find out the true matter that happened at the prison."

And Gabourel told us that Rodriguez wasn't a troublemaker - but he liked to take a drink.

"Mostly I work in the cayes so I would see him on the weekends. Friday evening he would be waiting on me, dad, let me get a little money, let me get a five, I want to buy something to eat. And like I tell him, Tyrique, not everyday is payday for me and so he would say, when will you get it? I tell him Monday. Bright and early Monday I would see Tyrique, you got me? I would give him a little change and he would go. Usually he would buy a little drink because he likes his badman, his revel, but he doesn't trouble anybody. He sits down, he drinks his little revel from there he says, he's going to sleep and that's him right there."

Rodriguez's mother lives in the US and she stated on Facebook that she had no idea her son was in prison. She also added that her son developed his mental illness around age 15 while he was still in high school.
