Decomposing body found along Jane Usher Boulevard

Late this afternoon, Police were called to a location at the end of Jane Usher Boulevard in Belize City after children found a body lying in the creek. Unconfirmed reports are that the children were in this bushy area playing when they saw the body floating. They ran to get help and that’s when Police were called in. News Five was on the scene until close to news time tonight while Police and forensics personnel processed the scene. Residents told us that one man who is mentally challenged lives in a shack near where the body was found, but they cannot confirm the identity of the body. At news time, there has been no official report and because the site was cordoned off by Police, no further information was forthcoming. We’ll have more on this story in Tuesday’s newscast.
