Ingrid and David Vega
It has been a very unfortunate past few days when it comes to the ever-increasing number of COVID-19 related fatalities. On Monday, December 14, 2020, Hon. David “Dido” Vega, 47, was laid to rest in an Official Funeral held in his home town of Corozal. Just days prior, on the morning of Friday, December 11, he succumbed to COVID-19 related complications at Belize Healthcare Partners Limited in Belize City. It was there that he spent his last week battling the disease since his health had begun to decline quite rapidly. His death was a somber occurrence on Friday especially since it was the day that the recently elected P.U.P. Corozal Bay area representative would have been officially sworn into the House of Representatives. Adding to the solemn mood was the news that Ingrid Vega, the wife of the late area representative, is now hospitalized herself. Just one day following her husband’s untimely passing, she was rushed to Healthcare Partners, also for COVID-19 related complications. There, she is listed as critical.
