Mexican reports indicate Mackintosh was found tied to a tree, but investigators in Mexico have not corroborated this and have not elaborated on the cause of death.

Mackintosh has a “common-law” wife who reported him missing on October 22, last seen in  the coastal town of Melaque, accompanied by his dog.

The retiree’s black Jeep Patriot, which had British Columbia licence plates, has not been found.

The dog has not been located either, according to Mexican police investigator Rosario Moran.

Police have three or four suspects in custody who are believed to have robbed him, Dave Norris, the victim’s neighbour told QMI Agency in a statement Wednesday.

“(Tourist police) believe this group is responsible,” Norris, who identified the body, wrote.

He said police arrived at his door in Barra de Navidad Tuesday morning and took him to the crime scene behind a barb wired fence on a rural road.

MacKintosh’s hands were bound with tape and there was a belt securing his neck to a tree, he wrote. The body was covered with a blanket.

“I identified it to be that of Ron because of the blue clogs he always wore, the shorts I had seen him wearing many times, and the Hawaiian-style white shirt with green Mary Jane leaves on it,” Norris wrote.

“Ron is a missed friend, my next door neighbor whom I always enjoyed sharing a couple beers and always a shot of tequila with. Nice gentle guy just wanting to enjoy his golden years.”
