http://www.greenhousecanada.com/images/stories/2009/July/cs1.jpgIt was with extreme sadness that I received the news of the killing of Dean William Tiessen, owner and president of New Energy Farms Group, from Leamington, ON. Dean was here in Brazil for about 10 days to attend functions about agro-business. He and his friend unfortunately decided to visit Guarujá and while returning to the capital were caught up in an attempted cargo highjacking on the Anchieta Highway. The pair descended from their rental car at the orders of the gang robbing the cargo, but it is unclear why Dean was shot. Although the driver of the truck called for a paramedic ambulance which arrived shortly thereafter and his friend made every effort to keep Dean alive he had no vital signs when emergency crews arrived. Dean leaves behind a wife, Jennifer Lehn Tiessen and four children. On behalf of the entire expat community in Brazil, our deepest sympathies go out to the Tiessen family and all those who knew Dean. Despite the fact that a foreign tourist is killed in Brazil every 72 hours nothing is ever done about it, nor ever will be.

Dirceu,

Have you actually read any of the numerous articles about this event???? All that I have read show that there were no signs of forced entry, no signs of trauma or other injuries and that everything indicates it was a murder-suicide. Other indicators are that Marcio had lost his job, they were in financial problems, three months beind in rent and heavily indebted.

Give us all a break and be relevant, would you do all this mimimi and bla bla bla, if they had all killed themselves back here in Brazil. They weren't MURDERED while abroad, they KILLED THEMSELVES while abroad.

I suppose you're going to blame Canada for the S茫o Paulo boy who was killed in a snowboarding accident on Grouse Mountain in Vancouver too??? Or the USA for the Brazilian woman killed in California by her husband? Who by the way is now serving a LIFE SENTENCE and unlike Brazil won't be back on the street to kill again in a few years.

Ok, so lets all start blaming Brazil for every foreigner that gets killed in a car accident here in Brazil shall we? It would be just about as stupid as what you're doing trying to blame somebody else for this case!!!
