According to the information released by the PJ, the police received a call around 4:15 p.m. on Saturday noting that a man’s body was found at the loading dock.
In the preliminary investigation that followed, the PJ found that the body was discovered by a resort staff member who spotted the body and called authorities.
According to the staff member, the deceased man was familiar with the resort as the owner of one of the resort’s food suppliers.
The employee told the PJ that he had arrived at the resort around 11 a.m. on the day to make a delivery.

No suspicious wounds or signs of fighting or struggle were found on the deceased, apart from marks around his neck consistent with suicide.
