Grieving Family of Selvin Sealy Shares Message of Encouragement  

It’s been just over a week since the family of Selvin Sealy received the devastating news; he had died shortly after being arrested in San Pedro. Their worst fears were confirmed when police ruled his death a homicide and suspended the officers involved. A post-mortem revealed that Sealy died from restraint asphyxia, meaning he couldn’t breathe properly while being held down during the arrest. Now, the family’s grief has turned into a call for justice. We spoke with Sealy’s sister, Victoria Sealy, who, despite her heartbreak, is urging Belizeans to stay strong and united as the family pushes for answers and accountability.

 

Victoria Sealy, Sister of Deceased

“Recently, my brother passed away, unfortunately. I just want to give encouragement to Belize, the country. Tomorrow is never promised and it’s hard, but I just want to give encouragement in this time of hardship that, like I said, tomorrow isn’t promised, and just live every day loving your family and true happiness and true assurance of where you’re going after that is found in Jesus Christ. And that’s all I would like to share with the country of Belize.”
