Media Hype

This is just another case of media hype.
At first I must regret the loss of a young life and my condolences to her mother and family.
The fact of the matter remains that the girl died from drowning after an overdose of drugs and or alcohol. It is sad that someone so young should be using drugs and alcohol and what was a child doing alone in Goa under the "care" of a stranger? Her mother needs to answer a few questions.
It seems that her mother may have some vested interests in making a hullaballo of this sad incident for reasons of insurance , extended free stay in Goa at the cost of the British embassy and other issues.
The media has just gone overboard with all sorts of rumours and the Goa Police & Govt PR is lousy and non-existent to the least.
The second autopsy will clear things up and the mother and the media will end up a lot of egg on their faces. Hope the media learns its lessons
Goa is safe and secure for normal, sincere good tourists. Mess around with unwanted elements, drugs and other nefarious activities and the risk is theirs
