Desiree Gibbon, 26, from Queens, was found by locals bloodied and lifeless a few miles from Montego Bay on the Caribbean island’s north coast on Sunday, LoopJamaica reports.

Mystery currently surrounds what appeared to be a heinous homicide - while investigators are conducting an autopsy report.

The gorgeous Gibbon arrived to the country back in October with a three month visa. Police identified Gibbon after showing her photograph to hotel officials in the area where they thought she may have been staying, according to reports.

Her body was spotted by the horrified residents in the bushes. Grief-stricken family members to Gibbon were at a total loss for words about what may have happened.

'It has to have been a complete stranger. Desiree had a heart of gold, everybody loved her. Everything hurts. It's hard to breathe,' aunt Peggy Brunner said.

'She loved to travel. She went to Brazil and worked in camps teaching English. And she taught herself Portuguese.

'Parents and relatives created a GoFundMe page to aid in transportation of her body back to the United States as well as funeral costs.
