SAN FRANCISCO—The executive director of San Francisco-based environmental group Rainforest Action Network has died in a swimming accident at a beach near Mexico's Pacific coast resort of Puerto Vallarta, police said Friday.
Rebecca Tarbotton, 39, was swimming Wednesday at a beach about a half hour north of Puerto Vallarta when she was caught by a wave and tossed around, said Adan Leyva, spokesman for Puerto Vallarta municipal police.
Leyva said that paramedics tried to revive her after she was brought ashore, but she was dead by the time she reached the hospital.
In a statement on its website Friday, Rainforest Action Network said Tarbotton—who friends called Becky—was travelling with her husband and friends.

Would we say she died of natural causes or should we say there were environmental factors....

What upsets me here and I don’t me to speak disrespectful to the recently departed but I work in California agriculture. Gotta have Tier 4 compliant tractors, Tier 4 compliant trucks, keep logs on all equipment, work with the regional water quality control boards, basically bend over backwards twice to meet the demands of the environmentalists. I didn’t take a freakin’ vacation this year let alone one to Mexico. How come the environmentalists get to jet off to all parts of the world?
