Sunday, April 20, 2014. PATRICK E. JONES Reporting: A man from Santa Familia village, Cayo died on Good Friday, reportedly from drowning.

37 year old Arsenio Landero and his wife were traveling by canoe on the Belize River sometime before midday on Good Friday when the tragedy occurred.

His body was retrieved from the Belize River about a half an hour later.
