1. Poisonous Insects - Poisonous toads, spiders, scorpions and killer bees all exist here in Panama.  Sadly, just a few days ago, on Feb. 25th,  a man was killed in prison when African killer bees stung him.

2. Unsafe Construction Sites - February 15ths strikes in Panama occurred because of deaths related to construction workers’ safety and pay.  There have been estimates that last year alone twenty-seven construction workers died due to unsafe conditions.

3. Being a Gangster Rapper - Was he shot by Colombian drug lords? Who knows.  On February 26th, 2008, up and coming Reggae-ton artist and self professed “king of the ghetto”, DangerMan, was shot and killed instantly.  This was a huge blow to his Panamanian fans.  Last night a DangerMan tribute was held at The Gallery night club in Panama City, Panama.

4. Do Shady Deals with Expats - Tragically, Toni Grossi-Abrams, an American woman in the midst of legal disputes over land on Isla Contadora was brutally murdered last year on April 9th, 2007.  Don Winner wrote a detailed article about this: http://www.panama-guide.com/article.php/20070415071248668/print.

5. Diablo Rojos - The infamous “Red Devil” Panamanian buses are the daily cause of car accidents here in Panama City.  Don’t let their vibrant and often religious paint jobs fool you, these bus drivers know no fear!

    1) In Usa it is common to die by an overdose. You choose of what: alcohol, anti-depressants, LCD, Cheese, bla..bla..whatever might make you feel well, specially if you have seen the horror of war or you can not simple handle being famous.
