Reports coming into our office since last night are that a resort maintenance worker drowned last night in an incident that took place at a pier after a night of partying. Gregorio Cornejo, 60-year-old, maintenance worker of a resort in North Ambergris Caye, drowned after he was pushed off a pier during a drunken scramble that involved three people. The men were apparently drinking during a staff party when the incident occurred. Cornejo’s body was transported to Belize City where an autopsy will be conducted and as of press time four people have been detained for questioning at the San Pedro Police Department.
