By Breaking Belize News Staff: Today, Friday, July 21, Ladyville police confirmed the discovery of a decomposed body in a car on a remote road near Mile 16 on the Phillip Goldson Highway.

The gruesome discovery was made by a local resident around 1:00 pm. According to police, the unnamed individual was walking along a dirt road approximately 200 yards off the main highway when he stumbled upon a brown BMW.

Inside the vehicle was the severely decomposed body of an unidentified male, seated in the driver’s seat. Owing to the advanced state of decomposition, any injuries on the body were not immediately discernible.

However, authorities noted apparent bullet holes in the driver’s side door window, raising suspicions of a potential violent crime. Due to these circumstances, the possibility of foul play is not being ruled out at this early stage of the investigation.

The area was promptly cordoned off and processed by Scenes of Crime personnel. The BMW vehicle was impounded and taken to Ladyville Police Station for further examination and analysis.

The body, listed as John Doe for the time being, was carefully transported to the National Forensic Science Services Morgue. A post-mortem examination will be conducted to determine the cause of death and hopefully reveal more clues regarding the circumstances of this mysterious and tragic event.

Ladyville Police are appealing to anyone with information regarding the incident, the identity of the deceased, or the owner of the BMW vehicle to come forward and assist with their investigation. As this is a developing story, updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
