      Learn to spell… you making all of us on here look very illiterate.

        Leave Rasty alone. It has nothing to do with spelling. Its more to do with the computer and the limited time the man/woman has with the computer, plus a lot of us cant type. It takes some of us forever to type a sentice. Patience please. But Rasty had something good to say. We understand what he/she was trying to say.

    Although the scene of the finding of the body was in the Woodford Hill area it is not actually on Woodford Hill Beach. It was on another beach called L’Ance Torti or Turtle Bay.

    There are big waves there and the body was awash where the waves land on the beach. This is why the body was dragged out of the waves. Contrary to what one commentator wrote these are NOT tyre marks. There is NO motorable access to Turtle Bay. Just noting for public information.

      Remember its the Atlantic Sea in that area. The Sea can take you in Marigot or Wesley and wash you ashore in Woodfordhill or even Calibishie.

    So sad to hear. Condolences to the family. As far as I know, Bolo was a very good swimmer so this must be taken into account.

    Looking at the pic there appears to be a tire track leading to the body… could be more than just drowning…

      Unless u have a sea plane it’s rather impossible to get to the area on foot much less, tire tracks? If u knew the area u wouldn’t say that

    If he was drowned why is the body on the beach and not in the water or even on the edge of the beach or what we call the lambataille… Did someone pull the body out of the water?
    Was there a missing person report?

    RIP Bolo my cuzzo. I hope proper investigation will be done before confirmation on drowning can be reached. This country having too many unsolved “deaths”. Police better do their job.
