Nevada couple is mysteriously found dead in their Mexican hotel room while celebrating their birthday with friends – as their children reveal why they may never know how they died


A married Nevada couple was mysteriously found dead in their Mexican hotel room, and their children now say they may never know how they died.

Lindsay and Nick Jordan were found dead in their hotel room in Cabo San Lucas,  Mexico on July 14, where they traveled with work friends to celebrate Lindsay’s 46th birthday, the Reno Gazette Journal reports.

Their son, Deven Simms, has since been combing and translating police records trying to figure out what happened.

He said Mexican authorities believe their parents’ deaths were caused by drugs, but there are discrepancies in ‘every document’ about how many drugs were found and of what kind.

But because the Mexican police ruled their deaths were not suspicious, the family does not have the option to run independent autopsies in the United States.

‘I know now we will never know,’ Deven told the Gazette Journal, noting that his father did not drink – so it was impossible to believe his parents could overdose on drugs.

‘They were there with work friends too,’ he said. ‘They weren’t going to go and do that.’

The children told how the parents were excited to go on the trip, and sent them photos from the Mexican report for the first two days of their trip.

In her last Facebook post on July 12, with photos overlooking the pool and ocean, Lindsay said it was ‘Not too bad from our room for our long weekend.’

The final photo of the couple, appearing happy and smiling as they had lunch at the resort, was taken by a friend.

‘They were just happy and happy to be on this trip,’ said their daughter, Haley, 19. 

Mexican authorities ruled that they had died of drug overdoses, but their son says there are discrepancies in each document

But on the morning of July 14, Deven said his parents’ friends went to their hotel room after they failed to show up early that morning to discuss plans. 

They were then ushered away by police and hotel staff. 

Deven said the work friends then called him after finding out that their parents had passed away.

He then called Haley to deliver the bad news, and the agreed to meet at their parents’ house in Reno, Nevada to tell their younger sister, Sammy, when she got home from a trip to Disneyland with their grandmother.

‘We just said it as bluntly as we could,’ Deven said. ‘I didn’t want her to have questions or not know right away they were no longer with us.’

But when they told the 12-year-old wrestling prodigy, she ran from the backyard, through the house and climbed into her mother’s car.

She then sat in the passenger seat in the driveway.

‘It’s where, at that moment, she felt closest to my mom because she drove Sammy everywhere,’ Haley said.

She noted that she stood by the car door, while her brother climbed into the drivers’ seat.

‘We just wanted to surround her,’ Haley said. ‘We just wanted her to know she wasn’t alone.’

Nevada Elite Wrestling said in the aftermath it ‘suffered a tremendous loss to our wrestling family.’

‘Nick and Lindsay Jordan’s spunk always brought such a light into any room they entered,’ the sports club wrote on Facebook.

‘They were the most generous people, and if you got a chance to be around them, you’d know how special they were.

‘The Jordans supported EVERYTHING for our club, always donating their time, talents and treasure,’ it added.

A GoFundMe has been set up by the mother’s former workplace ‘to help support Nick and Lindsay’s children as they face the challenge of life without their parents.’

It said its goal is ‘to ease the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time,’ with funds going toward funeral expenses and support to help raise Sammy and continue her wrestling career.

In an update last Monday, the organizer wrote that the contributions have covered their funeral expenses ‘and the additional support is helping to provide stability for the children as they adjust to life without their parents.’

As of Sunday evening, it had raised more than $87,000.

Nevada QB Thaddeus Thatcher commits to Oregon State, breaks down his decision


Las Vegas (Nev.) Arbor View quarterback Thaddeus Thatcher announced his commitment to Oregon State and broke down why he chose the Beavers. 

After taking official visits to Oregon State, UNLV, UCF and Michigan, the talented signal caller announced for the Beavers moments ago. 

“I’m very excited about my decision,” Thatcher said. “Coach Shep (Jamarcus Shephard) has assembled a really great staff and I’m really excited to work with coach (Mitch) Dahlen.

“Coach Dahlen has worked with so many draft picks and it’s really exciting to have the opportunity to be developed by someone like him.”

The potential to compete for early playing time was another big factor for Thatcher. 

“They’re going to give me a chance to compete for a spot right away,” Thatcher said. “That’s something I was interested in and so I’m excited about the opportunity.

“My whole family gets along with the entire Oregon State staff and we really believe in Coach Shep. I really think he’s going to be able to get things back on track and I’m excited to be a part of that.”

We originally had a commit prediction in for Michigan with Thatcher and there was strong buzz he was close to committing following his unofficial visit back in early April. 

Thatcher decided to take his official visits instead and the Beavers hosted him on May 29. Oregon State started to build momentum with Thatcher following the trip and the Beavs were able to hold off strong competition.

Thatcher is one of the region’s top dual-threat quarterbacks and two-sport athletes. He’s a talented basketball player as well but his fixture is on the grid-iron. 

As a junior, Thatcher completed 168-240 passes (70%) for 2,625 yard and 29 touchdowns with just five interceptions. He also rushed for 605 yards and seven more scores and will be a four-year starter for the Aggies, one of the top teams in the state.
