Keith Woolford Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 This Tweet is not specific on the exact location above Boquete where a citizen was recovered by SINAPROC's Search and Rescue team this morning in cooperation with the Public Ministry, but it would indicate that the person was deceased.

JM Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Looks like the makeshift bridge in Palo Alto down from the Tree Trek. That trail (isolated) goes through the rainforest and all the way to Bocas. At this time of the year the Rio Palo Alto is fierce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSailors Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) That is a very rickety bridge. You have to literally crawl to get across on it. Very easy to fall in. Wrong time of year to be up there! Edited July 31, 2017 by TwoSailors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 So it had nothing to do with the weather or the bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) High water likely made access to his remote location even more difficult. Because it's not stated otherwise, it appears his cause of death was likely natural. Edited August 1, 2017 by Keith Woolford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
