St Lucia: 48-year-old, Desmond Alcee, from La Toc, was found dead in his vehicle at Choc Beach, two days before Christmas, according to a report in the St Lucia Star.

Alcee’s Honda CRV was parked on the secluded beach since Tuesday and was found on Friday according to one eyewitness present at the scene. According to the police press relations department, Alcee was last seen when he left his home at about 9am on December 22. He was found dead at about 3:30pm.

The eyewitness said that after his friend called him from the beach and told him that there was a body at the beach, he drove to the beach to see for himself. “There was a man in there and there were no signs of life,” the eyewitness said recounting his nightmarish afternoon. “He was bloated, he was decomposing already. He was there perhaps from Tuesday until Friday, he had some big bumps all over his body and he was totally naked.”

The St Lucia Star report said that a post mortem was conducted this week and results indicate that Alcee, a former police officer who last served in the SSU before moving on to the Ministry of Tourism as a security consultant died as a result of hypertensive heart disease.
