Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Texas Fireman Found Dead In Cancun, Mexico

So he died on monday, body returned to the US on friday and being buried tuesday. That's pretty fast if there is evidence of foul play. You would think the body would be examined, examined, reexamined and investigated thoroughly. It's not like the body disappeared over the side of a cruise ship while on vacation.

It's changed, Gruff. Cancun isn't that safe anymore. Safest places are cities like Merida, where cartel members send their families to live.

The incident happened on the couple’s first night at an all-inclusive resort on the beachfront strip of hotels in the popular tourist destination.

After having a few drinks at the hotel lobby bar, the couple went to their room, according to Elledge, when Jamie Snow noticed her husband stopped and went back to the bar. She went to sleep, only to wake up about 4 a.m. and discover he hadn’t returned to the room.

Snow started searching the hotel for her husband at that point, Elledge said. About 8:30 in the morning someone told her he had been found dead, possibly after falling between the walls of the resort next door.



That's a bit different than a window in a hotel a few miles away.

Covid

Daughter & SIL just returned from Cancun.

There's a reason their citizens are trying to escape that place.

Exactly...

COVID?

My post was satirical lol

I wonder how much the family had to bribe the Mexicans to get his body released. Bet it was $$$$$.

No reason to buy round trip tickets... get there and party till they kill ya...

No interest in MX.

If I wanted sand and nice water - lots available in Florida, Carrib etc.

I went to Cancun seven times. I hated Cancun. But Cancun had an airport. We would fly down there from Atlanta, rent a car, and get out of town. We went 80 miles, down to a little town on the beach called Tulum. We would rent a little hut on the beach, lay back in a hammock under a palm tree and drink a cold Mexican beer. It was great! And very cheap. Beautiful crystal clear Carribbean water, wonderful skin diving there in the Yucatan.
This was back in the eighties. Last time we went was 1991. There were no problems except, every time we went down, now we would stay for a week, and the day we got back we got amoebic dysentery. They call it Montezuma's revenge. You will not be at your job for 4 days. Really nasty.

Anyway, no crime there in the Yucatan in those days. I talked to a gal who was at the same town, Tulum, in 2005 and she said the dope cartels were having shootouts in the streets with the Federal police, and she would never go back.

I also travelled extensively around Mexico by car in the seventies and eighties. Never had a problem. That country has gone into the septic tank since then. I wouldn't go back to Mexico today if you paid me a thousand dollars.

DMc Daughter & SIL just returned from Cancun.





DMc that is a great picture of your daughter riding the jet ski in the crystal waters of Cancun. Beautiful sandy beach. Palm trees. Did your daughter read this story, this happened just one year ago. And believe me the Mexican media keeps the lid on these murders as much as possible. Don't want to scare off Gringo tourists:


An American tourist was wounded while on vacation in Cancún after Narco hitmen on jet skis sprayed a beach with bullets in an apparent turf war with a rival drug gang. Two people were killed in the shooting.

The tourist, identified only as Kanya N, is a resident of Kentucky and was hospitalised after a stray bullet hit her in the shoulder when she was caught in the crossfire while relaxing under a palm-roofed hut, Vice reported.

Witnesses say two gunmen fired 10 to 15 shots at the beach before escaping across the water. The two victims died at the beach and were reportedly street vendors who sold craft items to tourists. Many such vendors also work as drug dealers, selling marijuana and cocaine to visitors.

The shooting took place in the afternoon of 11 June and is thought to have

Posted for the good of the group.

is it still safe to go to TJ for a BJ?

About the same as always probably.

And that's what most people think mexico is, a place to go engage in risky behavior they wouldn't or couldn't do in Iowa... Obviously it can be had, especially around the tourist hubs.

You should heed that advice and make yourself scarce here

Been to Cozumel 6-7 times, ferried across to Playa del Carmen several times, took the collectivo to Tulum...loved it.
Haven't been in several years now...Sadly probably won't return.
Probably go back to Punta Cana.
