On December 11th, a dead body was discovered on the Desert Pass in Tierra Robada. The male who discovered the body, reported it via 911 to the relevant emergency services. Upon arrival to the bridge on Desert Pass, a lifeless body was laid across the wooden bridge. The Fire Department did their best to respond to the scene, to assess and tend to the male but they were too late, the male was already deceased. Upon assessment, it seems the male had suffered from either drowning or asphyxiation. Shaw News released an article on the discovery of the body, at 10:33pm. However, since then, nothing has happened with the body, or in the local area. Lack Of Investigation The body was discovered some time before we released the article. The fire department was on the scene ten minutes or so before Shaw News arrived, meaning the body had been laid out for over an hour, that we know of. However, at the time of the discovery, dispatch couldn’t find an available unit from the Police Department or a Detective. A sheriff was dispatched from the local area, to watch over the body, waiting for the prompt response of the police and/or detectives. But nearly twenty four hours later, the body is still laid, lifeless on the wooden bridge. Nobody has established a perimeter. Nobody has looked for further evidence as to how the male died. Nobody has identified the body. In a time where crime is expected to rise, it seems the police and detectives are falling behind. Since when was it acceptable for a body to be left? Lack Of Coroners With a body being discovered, and declared deceased, it would be standard practice that a coroner unit would be dispatched. Primarily to carry out a detailed analysis as to how the body became deceased, and the overall injuries. However, alongside the lack of detectives and the police, there was a lack of coroners too. The body remains on the wooden bridge, just waiting for somebody to show an interest. Losing Trust In Our Local Services The public have significantly lost trust in our emergency services. However, it seems that the loss of trust is continuing to decline. Over the last few weeks, we have seen; The public are in shock at the current state of our emergency services. What’s next? Concerned Local Resident, Lucy Jones “The discovery of a lifeless body on a bridge in Tierra Robada is a tragic incident that demands swift and thorough action. However, the response from our emergency services has exposed a worrying gap in their capabilities and commitment. It’s unacceptable that after the initial discovery, so little has been done to investigate what happened or bring clarity to this tragedy.” “This is not just about one case; it’s about the systemic issues within our emergency response and investigative processes. When a body is found under such suspicious circumstances, the public has a right to expect more than cursory checks and vague statements. We need a detailed investigation, transparency from authorities, and clear steps to ensure such oversights do not happen again.” “Our emergency services are vital to the safety and trust of the communities they serve. I call on the relevant authorities to address these failures immediately, provide answers to the public, and ensure that resources are allocated appropriately to prevent such incidents from being neglected in the future. Every life deserves dignity, and every case deserves justice.”
