THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 28, 2025 Page 9 DEATHS | FROM PAGE 1 Malden High School graduate. Revere Mayor Patrick Keefe told Boston-based news outlets there were “too many questions” surrounding the deaths of the local women. Keefe told NBC News there’s “widespread concern” about a lack of transparency into what happened. The information on their deaths provided so far from authorities in Belize “[has left] our grieving community with too many questions,” Mayor Keefe added. In a statement released on Monday, the Revere mayor extended condolences on behalf of the City of Revere to the family and friends of the women and called them “valued members of the Revere community” and “daughters, friends, and contributors to our City.” The Revere Mayor added that he has been in contact with members of the community’s Congressional delegation – U.S. Senator Ed Markey, D-Mass., who is also a Malden WORLD NEWS STORY: The deaths of three tourists from Revere, Mass., in a Belize resort hotel has become national and worldwide news, as evidenced by coverage on ABC News Tonight by anchor David Muir.

When they did not receive a response by Saturday, hotel staff entered the room with a master key and found all three of the Revere women unresponsive. As of Wednesday, the cause of their deaths has not been confirmed and national and local police in San Pedro, Belize, were still investigating the penses as well as the transportation of the bodies back to the United States. As of Wednesday this week, all three of them had raised over $30,000.

In Malden, where Mallah’s family members still reside, Malden High School Principal Chris Mastrangelo announced Ms. Mallah’s passing on Tuesday via a Malden Public Schools email, offering condolences from MHS and the school district. “I am sure that many have heard of the tragic passing of Imane Mallah, MHS Class of 2019, while on vacation in Bethe country of Belize, which is located on the Gulf of America, on the eastern coast adjoining Mexico. “The [federal] Department of State issued a Level 2 Travel Advisory for Belize in December due to an increased risk for crime,” Mayor Keefe told the news outlet.” We will exhaust all avenues, both domestic and abroad, to ensure a proper and fair analysis of this case.” Housing staff attempted to contact the women several times on Friday after surveillance footage showed them entering their room the previous night – after returning to deaths. According to an online report, San Pedro Police Chief Chester Williams said, “Based on what the pathologist said when he visited on Saturday evening, they could have been dead 20 hours prior.” Police said there were no signs of forced entry or visible injuries on the women. According to reports, officers found snacks, liquids, vapes and other electronic devices in the room. *** GoFundMe accounts have been separately set up in the names of all three Revere women, to assist with funeral exSunday Monday Tuesday $10.00 Price includes Roller Skates Rollerblades/inline skates $3.00 additional cost Private Parties 7:30-11 p.m. Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday $11.00 Price includes Roller Skates 18+ Adults Only After 7 PM - ID Required Private Parties Private Parties 4-8 p.m. $10.00 8:30-11 p.m. $11. 18+ Adults Only After 7 PM - ID Required 12-9 p.m. $10.00 Everyone must pay admission after 6 p.m. Sorry No Checks - ATM on site Roller skate rentals included in all prices Inline Skate Rentals $3.00 additional BIRTHDAY & PRIVATE PARTIES AVAILABLE www.roller-world.com
