posted (July 12, 2018)
2 days ago American Cliff Kirk died at the John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore Maryland, while receiving treatment for a gunshot to the head.

The US Army Veteran was shot at his home on Northern Ambergris Caye a week ago. 4 assailants shot him and then went to steal his firearms, a briefcase, and a jet ski.

As we reported, 3 San Pedro residents: Nigel Williams, Christian Espat, and a 16 year-old were remanded on charges of robbery, attempted murder, aggravated assault, aggravated burglary, use of deadly means of harm, and dangerous harm. Well, police told the press today that the attempted murder charge against the defendants will be upgraded to murder, shortly:

"I know that Cliff Kirk was flown to the US for medical treatment. On Tuesday a family member informed the San Pedro police that he had passed away at a hospital in Delaware and that they will be sending the information to the police department. So, that was confirmed. I know that the charges will be upgraded. It is just a matter of how the investigation is going."

Cliff Kirk and his wife, Linda, who is also an army vet, built a self-sustaining house about 10 and a half miles north of San Pedro Town, which is very remote, and can only be reached by watercraft.
