Gary Morris, 78, was shot to death in Mexico on Feb. 1. Despite the homicide rate, Canadians are not turning their backs on visiting the troubled nation. 

Gary Morris died in a dusty Mexican alley not far from his winter home.

The 78-year-old Newmarket man was shot three times Feb. 1 in what appears to be an attempted robbery by killers unknown.

His wallet and identification were still in his possession when he died. There have been no arrests.
Mexico is so awash in bloodshed that unless it’s a slam dunk, cops simply move on to the next corpse.
