Citizens of Trinidad and Tobago have taken to Facebook to offer their condolences while some highlighted the underlying matter of drugs that might have led to the death of the 44-year-old.

With one user ‘Imbert Murris’ stating, “While very sad this man lost his life but demonstrate why the war on drugs the united states been talking about is a lost cause because the root of the problem is within united states that is just a simple case of supply and demand where the demand is united states and the supply chain is south and central America but on a serious note if this guy from Colorado wanted to smoke some weed in Trinidad he could have went to Trinidad Colorado or Trinidad in East Texas and mostly definitely would have been alive today.”

While another ‘Shairoon Ali’ stated, “Sooooo sad condolences to his family and friends may he Rip and praying that he gets Justice this is a reputation for my home sweet home Tobago I know there's crime everywhere.”
