Decomposed Body Discovered Near Illegal Border Crossing

The body of a middle-aged man was found on the banks of the Mopan River near the Belize western border over the weekend. The man has been identified as fifty-three-year-old Nery Cardona. Cardona left home on October 16th wearing clothing that matched the description of what was found on the body. Police visited the area along the riverbank where a footpath was created and is believed to be used by individuals who traverse across the border illegally. There they found Cardona’s badly decomposed body washed up. There were no visible signs of injuries, and authorities do not suspect foul play. The body is now at a morgue, pending a postmortem examination.
