A 37-year-old Alberta woman severely beaten over the weekend at an upscale Mexican resort has emerged from her medically-induced coma, according to her family.
The brutal attack against Sheila Nabb is the latest in a growing list of Canadian injuries and deaths in the country over the last five years. Nabb’s attack, and the spate of other deaths and injuries, have started to cast doubt on Mexico’s safety as a tourist destination.
Ms. Nabb was found lying unconscious in an elevator, with many of the bones in her face broken.
Six Canadians were murdered in Mexico in 2011, according to Foreign Affairs Canada. Fifty were the victims of assault.
