Update: Decomposed Body Found on Lark Caye; Police Commissioner Indicates Unclear Cause of Death

Last week, a badly decomposed male body was discovered along the shores of Lark Caye, near the Placencia Peninsula. The island’s owner and a group of individuals came across the body. Local authorities were immediately notified, and a team of police and coast guard officers responded, transporting the body to the mainland.

Police Commissioner Chester Williams told reporters today that, at this time, there is no indication that the death is a result of homicide or natural causes. He added, “We still don’t think it’s a case of homicide or natural death; the police are still probing to determine exactly what happened.”
