A Puerto Vallarta Vacation Ends Tragically When a Texan Man Dies on Los Muertos Beach

Puerto Vallarta (PVDN) – A Texas resident tragically passed away on Sunday, May 14, while vacationing with his partner and family on Los Muertos beach in Puerto Vallarta.

The deceased, identified as Gabriel “N”, 52, was originally from Tepic but had been living in Houston, Texas with his partner. He had come to Mexico for a visit, choosing Puerto Vallarta as a destination to experience its picturesque beaches with his loved ones.

On the fateful morning of May 14, Gabriel, his partner, and their family spent several enjoyable hours the Blue Chairs, a popular spot on Los Muertos beach. They swam, soaked up the sun, and relished the seaside ambiance.

However, the idyllic day took a distressing turn at noon when Gabriel suddenly collapsed near the water’s edge and lost consciousness. His family swiftly sought help, leading to multiple 911 calls pleading for medical assistance.

Upon receiving news of the incident, the Puerto Vallarta Municipal Police raced to the location on Malecón and Abedul streets in the Romantic Zone. Upon arrival, they found Gabriel motionless on the sand and promptly requested paramedic support.

Subsequently, Red Cross officials arrived at the site and unfortunately declared Gabriel deceased. The police then cordoned off the area and notified the Public Ministry agent to take over the command and leadership of the unfolding situation.
