Gringos killed in Mexico? I’ve been to Cancun several times and in 1987 we heard ambulances arrive outside the motel but we never heard any sirens when they left.

Curious, I asked the desk clerk the next morning what happened. He said a drunk college kid fell off the balcony and killed himself. That’s why the ambulances were not in a hurry. He said it happens all the time and the locals are careful to keep it out of the newspapers.

I went back in the 1990s and never had any problems. But after all the stories I’ve heard since then I will never return.

Yes, I understand; and even in American cities with the largest homicide rates IT IS usually local-on-local crime, most of the time.
