Victor “Vincent”, the American tourist found dead in Rio yesterday morning, hailed from New York City where he operated a small business. Vincent died, it seems, within two days of his arrival in Rio de Janeiro’s beach neighborhood Copacabana. The apartment where authorities found the body is located in the Prado Junior area of Copacabana, an area traditionally known for its party scene. In the past, most tourist congregated on the opposite end of the beach, but with the closing of the infamous/famous Help Disco, Prado Junior has regained its traditional spot as a favorite for the adult crowd. Victor had been dead for a few days before residents called the police. The authorities claimed to have found alcohol and a “pipe” that they considered drug paraphernalia on the premises
