The news spread quickly through the neighborhood. Residents and curious onlookers gathered in the area, surprised by the mobilization of patrol cars, ambulances, and forensic experts. “No one expected something like this, much less in this place where everything is parties and tourists,” they murmured.
The usual bustle of the Emiliano Zapata neighborhood was shaken on the afternoon of Friday, September 19, when a foreigner was found dead inside a condominium on Constitución Street, a few steps from the area’s daily nightlife and tourist hub.
The discovery occurred around 3:25 p.m., when Freed, 69, decided to personally visit his friend Henry, 58, when he noticed that he wasn’t responding to the messages they exchanged daily through an app to monitor his health.
What she found was a shocking scene: when she opened the door to apartment 204 of the “D’esire” condominium, Henry was lying unconscious, unresponsive to his friend’s desperate calls. She immediately called for help, and shortly after, paramedics confirmed the worst: the man no longer had vital signs.
The news spread quickly through the neighborhood. Neighbors and onlookers gathered in the area, surprised by the mobilization of patrol cars, ambulances, and forensic experts. “No one expected something like this, much less in this place where everything is parties and tourists,” they murmured.
The Public Ministry took note of the case and ordered the Investigative Police and Forensic Science personnel to carry out the corresponding procedures. After several hours of inspections and procedures, the body was removed and taken to the SEMEFO (Security and Investigations Service) for the required autopsy to reveal the exact cause of death.
The event remains shrouded in mystery, as although no signs of violence were reported at the scene, the circumstances have sparked all kinds of speculation. The death of Henry, a foreigner known for his quiet lifestyle in Vallarta, becomes yet another case that shakes the tourist destination and leaves the question open: What really happened that day inside the condominium?
