ASU student Aiden Nevarez plummets 20ft to his death at hotel just hours after arriving in Mexico for spring break
AN Arizona State University student tragically plummeted to his death at a hotel in Mexico on Sunday night.
College freshman Aiden Nevarez plummeted 20 feet to his death at a hotel in Cabo just hours after arriving for spring break.
The 18-year-old accidentally fell in an area of the Hotel Riu Santa Fe, where he was staying with some of his classmates, according to NBC affiliate KPNX.
A few of Aiden's friends told the news outlet the incident took place near a short wall with a 20-foot drop off on the other side, hidden by the top of palm trees that appeared to be bushes.
Speaking to Arizona's Family (KTVK/KPHO), Aiden's friend Jake Reithinger, who was in Cabo at the time of the accident, said: "It almost looks like it’s just a shrub or a bush and the little wall that’s there is about knee height."
Aiden's death certificate ruled the incident was accidental and he died from a fall, AZ Family reports.

"'I cannot imagine my life a different way.'"
