Whoa. Just saw banged up and now this?

[milly121287]

@MrVeesworld i jst saw that aswell. damn shame. r.i.p mark from paul in the u.k.

after seeing banged up abroad I think hes in peace now. He seemed emotionally scarred from what had happened and I dont blame him. I hope his story makes other travelers think while in other countries and do safer things. Its good to see he went back to thrill seeking even after all that stuff happened because he loved to do it. Learn from his stories. Rip

RIP Mark.

He seemed like such an amazing, peaceful, great guy. It's always the good that die young. May he rest in peace forever in the presence of god. -3

[digitaljetset]

Man I just watched locked up abroad. I am from Panama, I think this guy was fearless. I remember the Paya incident, that made us (the common citizens), to realize that our frontier with Colombia was one of the world lawsless areas.

[dontchuckitson]

Just watched Mark on Locked Up Abroad. The boy has such charisma and spirit...news of his death is a real heartbreaker. Why do the parents seem so unaffected?

[rubthesleep]

@spewgut They probably aren't that surprised sadly. Its always sad when someone passes but when you have someone in your life whos that large of a thrill seeker its kind of to be expected that something could definitely happen to them. Im a total chicken so I applaud him for having such a fulfilling life and dying doing what he loves to do. Ill probably die in front of my computer eating a bag of potato chips leaving comments on youtube and playing games... =/

I was watching the show as well and was really sad to read he had died. His parents seem at peace.

[scott303]

I too was watching the show Locked Up Abroad and found the story riveting...and I too was shocked and saddened to read of Mark's fate. RIP Mark. What a tremendous human being.

this is so sad, i was just up late last night watching "Locked Up Abroad" and it was his episode about his kidnapping in the Darien... i was so into the show and his story and then at the end there was a final message that said he had died in June of 2010.. i was shocked. it was so terrible.
