Four-Year-Old Dies After Falling Into Well

A heart-wrenching incident unfolded in San Narciso on Thursday evening, as a family outing turned into a devastating tragedy. Rigel Primiños, a four-year-old boy, lost his life after accidentally falling into an uncovered well while visiting his grandparents. The incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. when Rigel was last seen playing in the yard. His grandfather raised the alarm upon discovering the well cover open and Rigel’s sandals floating inside. Despite the relentless efforts of villagers and rescue teams, who worked tirelessly for hours, the young boy’s body was eventually recovered. Rigel, who would have celebrated his fifth birthday in January, was the elder of two siblings, leaving behind a three-year-old sister. His body has been transported to Belize City for a post-mortem examination. The community mourns this profound loss, and heartfelt condolences are extended to the grieving family during this unimaginably difficult time.
