He is 52 year old Luis Romero Sr, reportedly from Corozal. He died at the the KHMH this afternoon from acute respiratory distress.

In an angry post a short while ago on Facebook, his daughter said, quote, "My dad passed away just some hours ago, he had symptoms during this week which progressed within one day. My brother begged MOH to test him from last week Thursday, they said he had no links to anybody positive and a bad flu is going around and if he went to a clinic they will give him meds and that's it. Friday someone came forward that they were positive and my brother working on and off at a nightclub in Belize thought that was the link. He begged MOH to test him Friday and they said they would and did so Monday.

We received his results after I sent a strong message to MOH saying both were experiencing symptoms YESTERDAY. They did not test my dad but my mother, nephew, and brother's gf were tested. Why he wasn't test? Because they said he probably already has it. He started feeling dizzy last night but went to sleep and when everyone woke up this morning my brother called MOH to advise them he was just moaning and groaning in response. They sent an ambulance and he was admitted in ICU and intubated. We received the call a bit after 2pm this afternoon that he had passed…". End quote.

She adds that her brother - who is a DJ whit the same given name has not gone to San Pedro since 2019.

Another post from his sister confirms his death and says he was a joy, a man who loved music and was one of the very best technicians in Belize.
