Earlier we told you about Kenya Barona - whose family is not sure of what exactly caused her sudden death. The Ramirez family in Belize City is also grappling to come to terms with the death of their relatively healthy loved one. 32 year old Jaime Ramirez's body was found in the Belama Phase 4 area on Friday, around 8:30. His body bore no signs of significant injury, and he had no known illnesses, which left his family confused as to the cause of his death.
His mother explained that while she did not know of anyone who would want to kill him, he did have past altercations with the family of his children's mother.
