While on spring break in Mexico, an Ohio State student was discovered dead.

An American college student was discovered dead in Mexico while on spring break, despite State Department warnings to avoid the country due to violence.

According to reports, Henry Meacock was an Ohio State University student who went to Mexico for spring break earlier this week.

The university confirmed his death, but no specifics about when, where, or how Meacock died have been released.

“The Ohio State community has suffered a tragic loss, and we extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Henry Meacock,” OSU said in a statement. The university also refers students to the counseling center for assistance.

Thousands of students continue to travel to Mexico for spring break.

Another student, who was airlifted out of Mexico, is on life support in a Florida hospital.

Liza Burke, a senior at the University of Georgia, went to Cabo San Lucas for spring break with her friends earlier this month.

According to her friends, Burke had a headache, lay down, and was unable to wake up. She was flown back to the United States for treatment after her family raised $142,000 in days through a GoFundMe campaign.

Burke, according to sources, has a genetic condition that causes her brain to hemorrhage, which she had prior to her trip to Mexico.

The FBI is still searching for three Americans who went missing last month and investigating the murders of two more.

The State Department issued a Level 4 “do not travel” advisory for much of Mexico last month. Many of those warnings were still in effect as of March 9. This includes Guerrero because of crime, as well as five other states because of crime and kidnapping: Colima, Michoacan, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas (where two Americans were killed earlier this month), and Zacatecas.

The State Department has issued a Level 3 warning to tourists in seven more states: Baja California, Chihuahua, Durango, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Morelos, and Sonora. If you are planning a trip to popular tourist destinations such as Cancun or the Riviera Maya (both of which have been named top destinations by AAA for 2023), the government advises you to “exercise increased caution.”

Spring breakers in Florida have also been victims of violence.

What you need to know about Mexico’s ‘do not travel’ advisories for spring break.
Following two fatal shootings and rowdy, chaotic crowds that police have struggled to control, Miami Beach officials imposed a curfew beginning Sunday night during spring break.

According to a city news release, the curfew will be in effect from 11:59 p.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday, with an additional curfew likely to be imposed Thursday through next Monday, March 27. The curfew primarily affects South Beach, the most popular spring break party destination.

The decision was prompted by two separate shootings Friday night and early Sunday that left two people dead, as well as “excessively large and unruly crowds,” according to the release. The city commission will meet on Monday to discuss potential additional restrictions for the following week.

Following two shootings on Ocean Drive last year, the city imposed a midnight curfew. The previous year, there were approximately 1,000 arrests and dozens of guns confiscated during a rowdy spring break, prompting Miami Beach officials to take steps to calm the situation.

After purchasing a California mansion, Lil Wayne wants $29.5 million for it.

After spending $15.4 million on a California mansion more than a year ago, rapper Lil Wayne wants to leave the Sunshine State.
The singer, who goes by Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., has put his modern waterfront home in Miami Beach, Florida, on the market for $29.5 million.
He will make a nice profit if he gets even close to the asking price.In 2017, Wayne, 40, paid $16.8 million for the newly built estate with seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.
The property covers more than 10,600 square feet and is situated on Allison Island, an exclusive guard-gated island in Biscayne Bay that is roughly 35 acres in size.
A media room, a wine cellar, a movie theater, and 110 feet of water frontage are among the features that have earned it the moniker “tropical modern masterpiece.”
One of the living areas has 22-foot-tall ceilings and sliding doors that lead to the backyard with a pool, outdoor dining areas, and a cabana.According to the listing, there is a junior suite with a private terrace and a second family room.The custom Italian cabinetry in the chef’s kitchen is separate from the staff quarters.
In contrast, the primary suite has two bathrooms, a sitting area, a walk-in closet, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a terrace.
It is not clear why he is listing the property, but it may have something to do with his less-than-pleasant city memories.He was charged with illegal gun possession as a convicted felon in Miami in November 2020.
Before stepping down from office, President Donald Trump granted him a pardon, despite the fact that he was facing a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
