"On the one hand, the U.S. government is going to take this seriously, and on the other hand, it's not obligated to turn her over," Abrams said. On October 29, local police reports state that a Baja Resort Town guest told medical staff around 2 a.m. that Robinson had "drunk a lot of alcohol." A doctor determining she was stable but dehydrated, adding Robinson's acquaintances refused to send her to the hospital. The police report said the Charlotte native went into cardiac arrest and was declared dead by 6 p.m.
However, an autopsy differs from that report, stating medical officials arrived before 3 p.m., quickly declaring Robinson dead from "severe spinal cord injury" and a dislocated neck."I'm just waiting on that day when someone can be arrested. That's all I'm waiting on," said Robinson's mother, Sallamondra.
