Ron was a really nice person with a huge drug and alcohol problem. His girlfriend died in there home here in Jaco last year in a drug related thing, that was strange because she was shot and here in Jaco we never heard who shot her.
There was a huge party at the house that nite and no one knew she was dead until the next day.
The story here was that Ron died of a drug overdose and his mother wanted people in the states to be told that he died of natural causes.
He was too young to die of natural anything.
He had everything here. Beautiful house on the beach,property investments. Very sad.
I have seen many men come from the states to live here and something happens to them.
Drugs are cheap and the party never stops.
Young, good looking and smart. What happened?

Ron and I share a son together, we have been through many different emotions during the last year, with the death of Julie and now Ron. If anyone reads this and can share anything about what happened to both of them, please respond. Ron came to michigan last summer to visit us that was the last we ever saw him, I'm very saddened to hear about how much he was troubled, I would really like to talk to you so we could maybe start to understand what happened, try to put some closure to some part of this. If Julies sister reads this, contact me at my E-mail address.
