The deceased has been identified as Rennix Francis of Belles. According to the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force, officers responded to a report at approximately 7:45 a.m. on Saturday, July 11, after an unresponsive man was seen below a bridge in the Concord Valley area.
Upon arrival, police found Francis’ body in water beneath the bridge with visible injuries. His motorcycle was also located near the scene.
