This is so sad and my heart goes out to the friends and family of the gentleman who passed.

While it is quite obvious there needs to be a hospital in Negril (or in very close proximity), there also needs to be an ambulance STATIONED in Negril at all times.

I realize re$ource$ are limited and this idea may sound naive, however, this type of service may be paid for through an "Emergency Assistance Fund" (or something similarly named) paid by tourists and/or business owners who visit and operate in Negril. Of course, no one wants to pay MORE for anything, but this could've been you, your loved one or your friend.

All the money in the world can't help you when you have a tragic accident, but the peace of mind to know that your loved one received the best medical treatment, as quickly as possible, far outweighs a few extra dollars out of your pocket.
