Fire Victim Shadia Magaña Dies from Injuries

Seventeen-year-old Shadia Magaña, one of the victims of Monday morning’s devastating fire in San Felipe, has died. Magaña had sustained critical burn injuries after she, her mother Angelita Magaña, and younger brother Tishan were allegedly doused in gasoline and set ablaze by Angelita’s estranged partner, 35-year-old Francisco Godoy. Godoy passed away this morning at the KHMH in Belize City.

The attack occurred in the early hours of October 20. Shadia, who had recently graduated from high school, was initially treated at the Northern Regional Hospital before being transferred to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital for advanced care. Despite intensive medical efforts, she succumbed to her injuries this morning.
