Police Spokesman Ricardo Henson confirmed a body was found on Cannegieter Street but he did not have any details on the cause of death.
It should be noted that there seems to be a growing trend on the Dutch side of the island where the police doctor declares that persons that are found dead died of natural causes. However, there are two unforgettable cases where persons were declared dead by natural causes and it ended up being that they were murdered. Last year, a French national was found dead in Maho and the Dutch police doctor and Prosecutor's office said the man died of natural causes when he was in fact shot. The French Gendarmes and Prosecutor are the ones that found out that their citizen was murdered. In another instance, a woman was found dead at her home in Sucker Garden and the Prosecutor's Office said she died of natural causes. Later, it was determined that the woman was strangled by her own brother who was recently convicted for murdering his sister.
