Corozal Police were called out to a home on San Pedro Street in the Altamira area of Corozal Town.
Upon arrival they found a fully clothed body in an advanced state of decomposition inside.
According to Corozal Police, no foul play is suspected as Darnell had a clinical history of blood vessel clotting and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease but an autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death.
The body of Peggy Darnell was found on Tuesday morning by one Marleni Catzim who had arrived to clean her home.
According to Catzim, she saw Darnell alive and well on Wednesday, December 30th when she last cleaned her home.
