The Victims
on this page are just a
few of the hundreds of travelers that have died as a
direct result of negligence, incompetence, and crime both inside
and outside of Mexican Resorts. Many of these deaths were caused
by a lack of safety standards and enforcement by the Mexican
Tourism Industry. Mexico has an alarming number of tourist
problems and challenges and travelers should choose to vacation
elsewhere.

When you die in Mexico, there are always two stories.
There is the Mexican version and then there is the
