The suspected drugs are yet to be examined by police to verify if they are indeed heroin or another type of drug.

It was not until late Monday that the police were aware of the sudden death of both men and immediately ordered a post-mortem.

At the conclusion of Navarro?s post-mortem, which took place late Tuesday evening, police said they removed from his stomach and intestines a total of 51 latex packets containing what they now believe to be cocaine.

Of the 51 packets found in Navarro?s intestines, weighing 380 grams, 48 were intact and 3 were ruptured.

A total of 39 latex packages were found intact in Usher?s stomach and large intestine. An undetermined amount was found ruptured in his body, and the contents of the packages found in his stomach weighed 342 grams.

According to Gary Ayuso, Press Officer at the KHMH, both men were rushed to the KHMH?s Emergency and Accident Ward on Saturday, but they were both pronounced dead on arrival, as doctors at the hospital were unable to treat any of them before they died.

A reliable source to the Newspaper has informed us that the police investigation into the incident has revealed that three men, including the two deceased, left Belize sometime in February for Panama. Both the deceased returned into the country on Friday of last week, March 11, and within less than 24 hours were both dead, hours apart from one another.

Their third traveling companion, whose identity the police know but are not revealing, is believed to have not yet entered the country.

On Tuesday afternoon, after the Newspaper was informed of the sudden deaths of both men, we visited the KHMH where we spoke with the relatives of both men, as they waited patiently for answers as to why police were unable to hand over the bodies of their loved ones for burial, after three days of being in the morgue.

For the family of Navarro, when the Newspaper spoke to them on Tuesday evening, they told us that they were in shock over the sudden death of their loved one.

They were all under the impression that Navarro was in some part of the United States buying a vehicle. It was not until he called home on Thursday, March 10, asking for money to come home because he was feeling sick, said his sister, Monica Lopez, that they knew that he was in Panama and not the United States.

His brother, Edilberto Lopez, however, told the newspaper that about three weeks ago he saw his brother and he had told him that he and two other friends were going to the United States to bring down a vehicle.

Monica, however, told the Newspaper that she was in Punta Gorda on Thursday of last week, when her brother called her from Panama and told her that he was feeling sick and that he wanted to come home immediately, and if she could please send him some money for a ticket to get home.

She said that it was not until Friday that she was able to send Navarro the money and that it was on that same day he returned to Belize at around 11:30 a.m.

A call home that Friday morning, said Lopez, confirmed that he made it home safely, but was suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, but she thought that he was suffering from food poisoning after returning from Panama.

His mother, Natalia Uh said that her son began experiencing vomiting and diarrhea from Friday and was rushed to the KHMH early Saturday at around 3:00 a.m.

Unable to accompany her son, she said a neighbor took him to the hospital, but he was just dropped off at the KHMH Accident and Emergency Ward and died shortly after, because, Uh said, she received a call at about 3:30 a.m. that her son was dead.

For the Usher family, they too expressed to the Newspaper that the death of William Usher, Jr., was a shock, one that they still cannot comprehend.

The deceased?s brother, Errol Usher, 50, said that the information regarding the sudden death of his brother remains sketchy as he arrived into the country from Orlando, California, that day only to be asked to identify his brother?s body at the morgue.

For Usher, he thought that his brother had died suddenly because he suffered a heart attack.

For the family it is more than unbearable as they were just mourning the loss of another close relative, Norman Samuels, owner of Macy?s Restaurant on Bishop Street, who was laid to rest on that same day in Gracie Rock.

We were told by Errol that ?Crush? was in Gracie Rock that day to attend the funeral service for Samuels who is a cousin to the family.

But Usher we understand, never made it to the funeral services.

Relatives have informed us that he was by the river in Gracie Rock when he became sick and began trembling and another person who was with him, left him to go get some assistance. But by the time he came back with help, Usher was found lying on the ground, apparently dead.

Navarro?s body was handed over to his family on Tuesday evening immediately after the conclusion of the post-mortem, which reported that he died from anaphylactic shock due to an overdose of a controlled drug.

Navarro was an Ex-BDF who was working at the time of his death as an electrician.

He was scheduled to be laid to rest in his hometown at Orange Walk on Wednesday.

Usher?s post-mortem also concluded that he died from anaphylactic shock due to an overdose of a controlled drug.

The funeral service for William Usher is scheduled for today, Thursday in Hattieville.

He is predeceased by his father, William Usher, Sr., and survived by his mother, Mehetibel Sutherland, common-law-wife, Oretha Staine; four children, six brothers and four sisters.

It is estimated that the suspected drugs found in the body of both men are worth US$10,000 per ounce.

The over-all weight of the suspected drugs is estimated to be almost 2 pounds.
