Open Circle
Greg Custer presents “Murder, Mayhem, and Mexico: Non-natural death and what the statistics reveal” at the next gathering of Open Circle, Sunday, June 2, 10:30 a.m. in the garden of the Lake Chapala Society.
More U.S. citizens die of non-natural causes in Mexico than in any other foreign country. The U.S. State Department publishes annually the when, where, and “how” behind how Americans “bought the farm” when overseas.
