Body of Mexican retrieved from Rio On Pool
The body of a man has been retrieved from the Rio On Pool in the Mountain Pine Ridge area of the Cayo district less than 24 hours after he fell from a rock.
Dr. Marcelino Sosa, a Mexican veterinarian attached to the ongoing National Cattle Sweep program, lost his life when he apparently lost his balance while walking on the rocks to get a closer look at the waterfall and plummeted to his death.
With the help of co-workers, Sosa’s body was retrieved from the bottom of the pool and taken to the morgue at the San Ignacio community hospital where it now awaits a post mortem examination.
Sosa’s family is traveling from Mexico to claim his body and they are due to arrive on Friday night.
