A wedding anniversary celebration in Cancun, Mexico ended in tragedy, authorities say. Texas firefighter Elijah Snow was found dead in the bathroom window of a different hotel from the one he and his wife had been staying in.

According to authorities, Snow died of mechanical asphyxiation in a bathroom window.

Investigators are attempting to determine what led to his death, which, so far appears to have been an accident. Officials are unsure of why Snow left the hotel that he’d checked into, and who may have been with him at the time of the incident. 

Apparently, after drinks, Snow’s wife went to their room to get some sleep while Snow stayed at the hotel bar. But when she woke up around 4 a.m., and Snow still hadn’t returned, she started looking for her husband. 

“The Fire Department will take all necessary steps to ensure that Elijah’s family is properly supported throughout this difficult time,” the Arlington Professional Firefighters Association said in a statement.

In a move that surprised no one, Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared to change his tune slightly when it came to a vaccine booster shot yesterday. He said in an interview that he thought that a particular subset of the population might need yet another jab after all.

This change of heart comes a matter of weeks after he’d previously said, “given the data and the information we have, we do not need to give people a third shot, a boost…” At the time, Pfizer had been suggesting that another dose might be in order. 

Yesterday, the so-called expert flipped the script, saying that a particular demographic could require the booster after all.

“Those who are transplant patients, cancer chemotherapy, auto-immune disease, that are on immunosuppressant regimens, those are the kind of individuals that if there’s going to be a third booster, which might likely happen, would be among first the vulnerable,” he said. 

He continued: “It’s a dynamic situation. It’s a work in progress, it evolves like in so many other areas of the pandemic. You’ve got to look at the data.”

But if he was looking at “the data” then why is his attitude on boosters flip-flopping so much?

Yesterday, a 35-year-old “predator of the worst kind” plead guilty to kidnapping and killing a young Amish woman. 

Justo Smoker was convicted on a slew of charges, including third-degree murder, and faces between 35.5 to 71 years behind bars. When combined with the 17 years he owes for a separate incident, Smoker essentially faces life in prison. 

In April, Smoker apparently led police to the remains of 18-year-old Linda Stoltzfoos, who was last seen leaving church in June of 2020.

Smoker is believed to have stabbed and strangled Stoltzfoos just a few hours after kidnapping her. He moved her body from one location to another.

A  61-year-old woman was brutally assaulted earlier this week, and, now, the New York City Police Department is searching for the several suspects involved. 

The victim was apparently thrown against a railing before she was beaten with a kitchen pan by a second suspect on Tuesday night. A surveillance video of the incident shows a third suspect kicking the woman while she is on the ground. 

The group then took her across the street, punched her in the back, and stole cash and credit cards. They even took her walker, authorities said. 

This incident reflects increasing crime across the city. For instance, data shows a 32% uptick in grand larceny, and a 16% increase in robbery, when compared to this time last year.

Last weekend, three young men at a country music festival died after inhaling apparent carbon monoxide fumes, authorities say.

Now, one of the Faster Horses Festival headliners, Luke Combs, has footed the bill for the trio’s funeral costs. He offered no other comment on the tragedy. 

Apparently, a portable (and possibly leaking) generator was situated too close to the trailer that carried 20-year-old Dawson Brown, 19-year-old Kole Sova, and 20-year-old Richie Mays Jr. 

“It’s just a freak accident,” said Sova’s father. “For all those decisions to line up to get to this tragedy it just boggles your mind – of the thousands of generators and campers, they were the ones that it hit.”

Officials with the festival itself posted their condolences on Twitter: “All of us in the Faster Horses Festival Family are deeply saddened by the tragic losses this weekend as confirmed by the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Department. Our hearts are broken for the family, friends, and loved ones.”
