Dave Beatty, a Brockville, Ont. man known as ‘Island Dave,’ has died after fighting for his life in a Mexico hospital, friends said Monday.
Beatty, 71, died peacefully Sunday afternoon with friends by his side, they said in a news release.
“Our friend is now in his final resting place, a place he chose,” friend Peter Amo said in the release. “He will be long remembered by many as a great guy who made a difference with his humanitarian efforts.”
Beatty was a retired City of Brockville employee who worked as a revenue collector every summer for the islands, hence his nickname.
RELATED STORIES
Beatty was found unconscious on March 18 on a dark stretch of road outside the village where he was staying. His passport, travel documents and $90 were on his person. Friends believe he was possibly the victim of a hit-and-run.
Beatty suffered six fractured ribs and a punctured lung. On March 25, he suffered a heart attack while in hospital.
Friends said he showed some signs of recovery on Friday.
“He woke and recognized his friends and while unable to talk, could respond to things like open your eyes, move your left foot,” the news release said.
However, his heart could not sustain the pressure being put on it. He was on a ventilator until Thursday, then breathed through an oxygen mask until his death Sunday afternoon. He had undergone three blood transfusions.
Friends say Beatty will be buried alongside his closest friend Mark in Zipolite, a village in Mexico where they shared many years together.
A GoFundMe that friends started remains active, and will be put toward outstanding expenses, friends said.
Funeral arrangements in Mexico are underway.

MAGIC WATERFALLS
CASCADAS MÁGICAS
Situées à environ 2h00 de Zipolite, (a 1h15 de Huatulco) dans la communauté de San Miguel del Puerto au milieu d'importantes plantations de café. La rivière Copalita alimente l'affluent qui traverse la jungle et forme les “cascades magiques”.
La section que nous avons explorer nous offrait la possibilité de nager dans huit piscines naturelles d’eau turquoise, cristalline et rafraîchissante, suffisamment profondes pour plonger depuis les rochers ou s’élancer sur des “cordes à Tarzan”.
Les lagons sont réunis par de magnifiques cascades naturelles, entourées d'une végétation épaisse et d'abondantes et d’oiseaux colorés.
Nous avons escaladé les dernières cascades en nous agrippant à une corde donnant accès à deux grottes et aux derniers lagons.
Une autre journée mémorable à conserver précieusement dans parmi nos meilleurs souvenirs de voyage.
MAGIC WATERFALLSLocated at about 2:00 from Zipolite, (1:15 from Huatulco) in the community of San Miguel del Puerto amidst important coffee plantations. The Copalita River feeds the flow that crosses the jungle and forms the "magical waterfalls".The section we explored offered us the possibility to swim in eight natural pools of turquoise, crystal clear and refreshing water, deep enough to dive from the rocks or jump on “ropes in Tarzan”.The lagoons are brought together by beautiful natural waterfalls, surrounded by thick vegetation and colorful birds.We climbed the last waterfalls by clinging to a rope giving access to two caves and the last lagoons.Another memorable day to treasure among our best travel memories.
