Murder
An autopsy of Harrison showed he had been stabbed in the chest. How his body ended up in the ocean is unknown.
Cabo Pulmo is located mid-distance between San Jose del Cabo and Las Barriles on the coast of the Sea of Cortez.
Harrison, with his wife Lori ran “The Cabo Harrisons” a vacation rental and real estate company in Cabo San Lucas.
The company’s web page describes Harrison as
“…born and educated in South Africa, immigrating to Canada in his mid-20’s. Gaining Canadian-Citizenship, he lived in Vancouver for almost 20 years, building one of Western Canada’s Premier Import Wine Businesses and after picking up the importation rights for Corona to Western Canada, the Harrisons’ made their first investments in Cabo in the 1980’s in vacation condos, for use and rental. In that late 1990’s – after vacationing to and investing in Mexico for 15 years, they decided to move to Cabo permanently, establishing both a vacation rental business and a B&B - Vacation Villa.”
