Spring Break Tragedy When OSU Student Mysteriously Dies
An Ohio State University student died on spring break, his sister confirmed, days after another student suffered a brain hemorrhage while relaxing with friends in Mexico.
Henry Meacock of Westfield, New Jersey, was studying finance at OSU.
It’s unclear where he died or how, but his sister Ellie paid a moving tribute to her brother.
“My little brother, I can’t believe it,” he wrote on Instagram.
‘Words cannot describe how much I miss you. It hurts to breathe without you.
‘You are an extremely special soul who will live forever. The most beautiful boy inside and out. No one will ever have a smile like yours.

She praised his spirit, adding: ‘I admire you in every way.
‘The joy you brought to the people around you will never be forgotten.’
And she said she was grateful for their sibling bond.
I am so grateful for the amazing relationship we had. There’s no one else I’d rather trust. I love you forever and ever, my best friend.
Meacock’s death came as another student, Liza Burke, was recovering in hospital after being found unconscious in her bed in Mexico, having suffered a brain haemorrhage.
The condition was genetic, but it’s not clear if anything aggravated his situation.
Burke was enjoying her “last spring break” with a large group of friends in Cabo San Lucas when she suffered a brain hemorrhage on March 10.
Burke went to bed after breakfast complaining of a headache. Her friends checked on her a few hours later and called an ambulance when they couldn’t wake her up.
The young student was rushed to the hospital, where Burke was diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), Fox News reported.

The University of Georgia student has since been diagnosed with a condition called arteriovenous malformation and has been flown home to Florida for further treatment.
She was rushed to a hospital and put on life support. A GoFundMe page was set up to help Burke raise $130,000, and the cash was used to fly her to Jacksonville in Florida, where her mother Lauren McKeithen lives, for further treatment.
Burke is said to have shown “promising signs” after undergoing surgery in Mexico, and McKeithen said his daughter had been able to squeeze his hand.
She told Channel2: ‘We’re told to take things one day at a time and not get our hopes up too high but rather have high hopes.
According to the Mayo Clinic, an AVM is a “tangle of blood vessels that irregularly connects arteries and veins, disrupting blood flow and oxygen circulation.”
Scientists aren’t sure what causes the condition, but say it usually doesn’t run in families.
People are born with the condition, although it is more likely to cause brain bleeds later in life.
It tends to affect men more often than women.
Jennifer Ritter, who organized a GoFundMe fundraiser for Burke, said her friend was born with the condition but was only discovered after she became seriously ill.
Burke was one of a dwindling number of spring breakers venturing to Mexico this year after a recent wave of terrifying crimes raised security fears.
Earlier this month, three North Carolina men and a woman were kidnapped at gunpoint during a trip booked so the woman could get a tummy tuck.
Two of the men were shot to death, with the third man and the woman surviving.
They were kidnapped and killed by a cartel whose bosses have since disowned the men they say are behind the killings.
And across the United States, students from Florida to California hit the beaches to soak up the sun.

Spring break is depicted in Florida. Many have avoided Mexico this year in the wake of a series of high-profile crimes involving American victims.

Thousands of students flock to Panama City each year to celebrate spring break.
With COVID restrictions fully lifted, tourism authorities were hoping for a bumper season.
However, concerns about inflation and the economic situation weighed on the minds of some.
A Morning Consult survey found that 30 percent of all American adults said they plan to take a spring break (February to April) trip this year, about the same level as last year.
In Panama City, more than 200 people have been arrested so far, police chief JR Talamantez said.
“Spring break this year has gone as we expected the first two weeks of March to go,” he said. WJHG.
“We’ve had a couple of people here and there want to test the limits and our ability to enforce spring break, and they’re currently realizing while sitting in the Bay County Jail that we can run the business.” .
He said the vast majority of the students behaved well, but some drank to excess and faced charges.
“What we are seeing now is crime associated with intoxicated behavior caused by college students,” he said.
‘Unfortunately going home with a criminal record.’
He said the arrests had been for drinking on the beach, DUI and possession of narcotics.
Around 50 citations have been written so far for drinking on the sandy beach, which is illegal during the month of March.
The ordinance was created to control the chaos of spring break.
“We have given many more warnings than citations,” Talamantez said.
“And the only way we can enjoy it is if everyone follows the law and maintains a very familiar fate.”
