And from that chopping in Cayo, we turn now to the apparent drowning of an 88-year-old man from the Toledo village of San Antonio.

Police say that at around 3:00 on Saturday afternoon, they discovered the body of Ponciano Coy, who was found dead near a creek in the village. He was last seen alive on Friday night, and according to police, reports are that he appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. He and his son reportedly had a heated argument about the challenges that the family was having to care for him. He then left home, and that was the last time he was seen alive.

Here's what police told us about the case today:

There were no visible signs of violence on Coy's body.
