According to the release, a passerby contacted police and reported a third individual who was unconscious a short distance away. That individual, 30-year-old Belyruth Ordonez, was pronounced dead at the scene."She was quiet, observant and she knew how to listen to you and she was always there to support you," she said."She was the most kind person I ever met, she was always there for me when I struggled, she was always there to help," Jessica said.
