[EDITION.CHANNEL5BELIZE] An American woman died following a brawl she was involved in on La Isla Bonita over the weekend. A postmortem examination is expected to determine whether she died from injuries received during the fight or the accident that led to the brawl.
The victim, forty-six-year-old Jennifer Lynn Griffith, was in the passenger seat of the golf cart that her husband, forty-one-year-old Maynor Rene Ancona, was driving when they crashed into El Norte Bar on Saturday night. That accident led to an altercation between the couple and the bar’s employees. It was during that fight that one of the employees threw a conch shell at Griffith, hitting her on the head. She was taken to the hospital but refused medical care, discharging herself. The pain in her head returned a day later, when she was rushed to the hospital, where she succumbed. Police Commissioner Chester Williams briefed the media this morning.
