Canadian Found Dead, Tied to Tree in Mexico

A man from British Columbia who went missing in Mexico last month has been found dead. According to Mexican media reports, his body was found tied to a tree in the beach town of Barra de Navidad, located north of Manzanillo. His neck was reportedly tied to the tree with a belt and his hands were bound with tape.

The victim, Ron Lloyd MacKintosh, was a 64-year-old retiree from Nanaimo, B.C. He had moved to Mexico two years ago, and had been a long-time visitor to the country prior to making the move.

The hunt for MacKintosh began on Oct. 22, when his common-law wife reported him missing. He was last seen in Melaque, a town near Barra de Navidad, where he had driven a friend home; his car hasn’t been found.

This is the third Canadian death in Mexico this year. Another British Columbia native, 67-year-old Robin Wood, was also killed in Melaque this year, during a home invasion in January. The second death was Duane Joseph Lang of Regina, who was murdered in an apartment in Puerto Vallarta back in August.

It’s been a horrific past few years for Canadians in Mexico. In addition to the three deaths this year, a woman had to have facial reconstruction after she was attacked in a resort in Mazatlan earlier this year.

In 2010, another B.C. man who had moved to Mexico was killed in Puerto Vallarta, and a Quebec man was found in the trunk of a burned rental car in the state of Guerrero.

In February of this year, 22 Carnival Cruise tourists were robbed at gunpoint while on a bus tour in Puerto Vallarta. No one was injured.

A Nameless Ghoul

I don't think this was cartel related. The cartels usually try to not mess with any foreigners that come under hostile actions in their areas, you know they don't want anyone getting involved in their business, killing foreigners is a surefire way to bring another country into what you're doing.

Ya, there was no mention on the media of any cartel involvement with the death of that Nanaimo, B.C. man - he was just another victim of the violence that plagues Mexico.

Authorities attributed the mans death to a robbery and had arrested 3 or 4 men as the killers.

The dead man had left home in his Jeep with his dog. The Jeep, a 2008 Patriot, and the dog were never found.
