Sad to hear hope the truth comes out of this one.

Update
As of this morning he was declared clinically brain dead, and the family was in preparation to airlift him back to Canada for possible organ donation.

After seeing how badly the attorney general of the state of Quintana Roo has bungled the Iainero case from start to present, I have zero faith in anything the man says about this one. Or any other case involving tourists in the Cancun area.

Nor do I have any faith that this government, just like the one preceding it, will actually DO anything to get the answers.

consulate officials
consulate officials in mexico should speek up a little louder or perhaps just have the prime minister get off his skinny ass and go pay calderon a little visit in order to get the correct friginn answers to these hainus crimes .
We do not know for sure if Jeff Towes lies in hospital near death from a crime or an accident ...we do know something happened in Mexico and because of so many past unanswered questions ... unsolved cases and lack of truth.... Canadian families... Canadian citizens.... have like Jenny says..No faith in either Government ...

We all know there are crimes committed and accidents happening all over the World and in our own Countries...

We can not forget Kristen...

Were there answers given in her case..... Was her case solved?
Why are we hearing about so many deaths...accidental or not...... happening in Mexico to Canadians...We do not hear stories like this coming out of Cuba or the Dominican and just as many Canadians travel to those Countries each year...

Just curious....

and yes :)

I ..We... will still travel to Mexico end of the year... but I go with the knowledge that if something happens to me or my family ... do not expect to get a lot of help after from suppose to be Authorites...

We all know several things: First, for the most part, Mexican officials are corrupt or corruptable. Second, Mexican officials are dependant on the US and Canada for tourists and third, Mexico is dependant on the cash sent back to Mexico from Mexicans living in the U.S. $11 BILLION per year. If anything were to be done to upset this, Mexican officials would be in a world of hurt. Of course they must deny anything like responsibility or liability. Blame it all on the drunk Gringo.

I have been replying to a bunch of posts on Tripadvisor (Playa del Carmen forum) on this subject and have been raked over the coals about my opinions. These things are awful but it happens everywhere. Some posters feel a need to stir this matter. I have no fear when visiting Mexico, either coasts.
Bless his soul for his unselfish act in organ donation.

I am having a hard time believing Jeff was doing Cocaine and jumped from a balcony...It is so much easier to believe that he was beaten but it is not so...

Heard on a local news show tonight that yes..Jeff did have cocaine in his system and that he did jump....
So very very sad..

btw
I could not find tonights news story on the web to confirm what we heard...
The news seems to be very low key on this story. I, too, had heard that there was cocaine in his system but i had only caught the tale end of the broadcast. That was last week I think or the start of this one. I waited to hear more but never heard anything else.

Either which way - truly a tragedy.
Ann that is what I heard too...

actually...more canadians on the Ducks than the Senators...so if in fact the Ducks win (I hope they do) it will be the Canadians winning...I guess with 68% of the players in the league being Canadian it looks like we win pretty much every year...sonofdob.
