Vacationing Calgary man dies in Mexico following sudden illness
CALGARY — A Calgary man who died in Mexico after suddenly falling ill while on vacation is being remembered for his loyalty.
Troy Black was with his wife, Lindsay, in Puerto Vallarta when he began vomiting blood on Thursday. Doctors then found a tear in his esophagus, said his friend Jonathan Denis, a lawyer and Alberta’s former justice minister.
Denis said he received a text message from Lindsay saying Black died from cardiac arrest on Saturday night.
How the tear happened is unclear, Denis said.
