A woman has died while on holiday in Belize after a fight broke out at a bar.

Jennifer Lynn Griffith, 46, was hit over the head with a conch shell moments in a row that started when her husband Maynor Rene Ancona, 41, crashed their golf cart into the building.

During the melee that followed, one of the workers at the bar threw a conch shell at her, hitting her on the head.

Jennifer, who was holidaying from the US, refused medical care, but the following day suffered extreme pain and collapsed. She was pronounced dead at hospital.

Police commissioner Chester Willliams said:’It is my understanding that prior to the brawl, the lady was on a golf cart along with her husband, and it collided into a building with the golf cart during which she may have also hit her head. She had a concussion.
