316:Grieving family searches for answers after son's mysterious death in Mexico
Manage episode 358695891 series 3313885
What should have been a fun guys' trip to Mexico in September has left one family searching for answers after the death of their son. Maurice Colburt had just received his passport and was traveling to Rosarito Beach during the Labor Day weekend to take in a concert and enjoy his time with friends.
But according to Colburt’s friends, a shot at a popular tourist bar called Papas & Beer caused him to collapse. Colburt was then dragged out to the street, where he would later be pronounced dead by EMTs.
Since that night, his parents, Evangela Thomas and Marvin Colburt, said they have not received assistance from Mexican authorities or the US Embassy to find out what really happened to their son.
On this week's episode of “The Word” podcast, the parents speak out about inconsistencies in the police and EMT reports and are asking anyone who might have seen something that weekend to please come forward.
If you have any information, you can email statements, pictures, or videos to MauriceLivesOn@gmail.com.
