Construction Worker Falls to His Death in San Pedro

A construction worker fell to his death on Thursday morning on Ambergris Caye. Police reports are that the incident happened at Clearwater Belize, a property located two and a half miles north of San Pedro. The victim, forty-five-year-old Abisur Loza, a resident of Patchakan Village, Corozal, was working on the fourth floor of a six-storey building when he fell to the ground sometime around seven-forty a.m. Loza was one of several others who were working at the site. Loza was reportedly on the edge of the fourth floor of the building, trying to push a corrugated drainage pipe that was hanging. He lost his footing and plummeted to his death. His co-workers reportedly heard a thud and saw him lying face up on the ground, bleeding from the face and head. By the time the ambulance arrived a few minutes later, Loza had already died. The father had reportedly gone to Ambergris Caye a few weeks ago to seek employment to sustain his family back home.
