Perhaps you missed this post. Her daughter said that the local Deputy Consulate is working with her dad there.
Thanks. Good to know the Deputy Consul is involved. I'm sure the Embassy in Mexico City was alerted right away and will be involved when and if it comes time for transport of the body, etc. Maybe they helped her get in touch with her dad if there was any difficulty there. I used to work at overseas diplomatic posts but was only involved once, and then only peripherally, in a case of an Am Cit dying overseas. I still want to believe the news was all wrong and we'll see her again. My wife and I used to dive. Never had a really bad incident, except one case in the Philippines when divers were let off the boat circling a small island counter-current so some of us ended up drifting away from the boat as we surfaced. There are obviously lots of questions regarding this case, including the buddy situation, but we don't know enough to make any conclusions. Even her physical condition, and any possible hidden conditions that may have contributed to her death (presumably the autopsy will answer those questions). There may always be some questions remaining. My main thoughts are with Richard and the members of their families back in the States. We were sure we'd see them both again next year. Life is so fragile. On Thanksgiving we're thankful we new Suzanne as long as we did.
