A grim discovery this afternoon near the Bliss Institute in Belize City has left authorities searching for answers. The lifeless body of an unidentified man was pulled from the sea by coast guard personnel as stunned onlookers watched from the Foreshore area. It’s still unclear how long the body had been in the water before it was found. Tonight, police are asking for your help in identifying him. Commissioner of Police, Doctor Richard Rosado, says they’re hoping someone might recognize the tattoos on the man’s arm and come forward with information.
