By BBN Staff: Two days of searching for missing 22-year-old Belize City resident Carlos Daniel Guerra came to an end today when his body was retrieved from a riverbank this afternoon.

A joint search party consisting of members of the Belize Coast Guard, Roaring Creek Police, and family members located his body around 1:20 p.m. approximately 1.5 miles downstream of the Sibun River on the left side of the bank.

Guerra’s body was transported to the national forensic morgue in Ladyville where it awaits a post mortem examination.
