Malaria was the common cause of death in the area 100 years ago, but there were no serious problems in the last decades. Doctor Peronila Alvarez, leader of the medical council of the Canal Authority, stated it firmly that there are no indications that these deaths have been caused to die by malaria or some other tropical sickness. |

The local farmers, the ones who are already worried about the expropriations and the environmental impact due to the construction of the new sluice, say they aren't really sure. "There are a lot of strange things in the forest", a farmer says. "They are asking destiny for bad things to happen with the new sluice. I fear for my family" |

At questioning a spokesman of the canal authorities, this is what he had to say"We are analyzing every cause possible of the dead and we'll give a report when we have more information on the matter.'' |
