An American man visiting the island of Tobago was found dead late Thursday with multiple stab wounds, prompting local authorities to launch a homicide investigation and reassure the public about safety in the area.
According to Fox News, Christopher Brown, a 43-year-old resident of Silverthorne, Colorado, was discovered unresponsive along Depot Road in the village of Castara.
A local police report said Brown had apparent stab wounds and a metal object lodged in his back when officers arrived around 10:30 p.m.
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, Brown had been spending the evening with friends in Castara, a quiet seaside community on Tobago’s leeward coast.
The group had gathered for dinner and drinks, but Brown eventually decided to leave, telling friends he planned to buy marijuana.
Police said Brown was later found lying unconscious and was pronounced dead soon after authorities reached the scene.
