Christmas Day Drowning Claims Life of Caledonia Villager

A Christmas Day tragedy has shaken the quiet village of Caledonia. What started as a holiday morning ended in heartbreak when forty-five-year-old Eliadoro Moh was found lifeless along the riverbank. Police say Moh had left home earlier that day and was reportedly under the influence of alcohol. Just two hours later, his brother received the devastating news. Here is Staff Officer Stacy Smith on what investigators have uncovered so far.

“On Thursday, 25th, December at approximately 12:30 PM acting upon a report of an apparent drowning in Caledonia Village, police proceeded to a river bank in that village where they observed the motionless body of a male person whose identity was learned to be Eliadoro Moh, a 45-year-old Belizean laborer of Caledonia Village. What the investigators have ascertained so far is that Moh left his home sometime around 10:30 a.m. and at that time he was observed to be under influence of alcohol. At around 12:30 p.m. the brother of Moh was advised that his body was observed in the river. It was later removed and attempts were made to resuscitate him. However, those attempts were unsuccessful.”
