Two-Year-Old Dies In Boat En Route to Belize City

Two-year-old son Kaleel died while being transported by boat to Belize City late yesterday evening.

One Facebook user said: “Please Help baby kaleel whom lost his life while heading to Belize for medical assistance at the age of 2 years . Our hearts are heavy as we share that Kaleel has sadly passed away. In this moment of grief, the family is facing not just emotional pain but also financial burdens.”

The toddler was first taken to a polyclinic on the island for medical treatment. Doctors there referred him to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital (KHMH) due to the severity of his condition. The family, however, alleges that the clinic declined to provide airlift services. This forced them to transport Kaleel by water taxi instead. Sadly, the child passed away before reaching the mainland.

The family is now seeking financial assistance to cover funeral expenses and other costs.
