Misleading headline. The guy was on drugs and/or wasted.
if no one else at all was afflicted, sounds like both guys took drugs to me. Where was his 'girlfriend'?
Very dangerous going to these Latin American places, it definitely wasn't an accident
Gouv should never have made pit legal now kids needs to up that! Sorry for the parents, what should have been great became a nightmare!
he didnt pay an escort and the handlers took care of it.
its off limits to do this to tourists unless they really mess up.
It won’t take Sherlock Holmes.They were HIGH. C’mon.
Great job in raising your son, parents. Now sue somebody and make money off him.
why vacation in these crappy countries.
you get what you pay for.
sounds like he was drunk and dumb or on some drugs who knows it’s not like there was a autopsy
Sounds like he fked around and found out
