And while there were no fatal injuries in this fire, a family in San Jose Succotz spent Christmas Day worrying about their missing loved one. Now, they're grieving after his body was found this morning around 6:30am floating in the Mopan River. According to police, it is still unclear what the cause of 65-year-old Ciriaco Cocom's death is.

"Investigators are at a scene by the Mopan River area where they discovered the body of Ciriaco Cocom who was reported missing by family since Christmas Day. At this time, I cannot say if there are any signs of injuries to the body, because I just received this information a little while ago, but as soon as I know I will send you a release so you can know. I know that he was reported missing by family Christmas day and police have been looking for him since then, so at this time that's all I can give you on that."
