A British man vacationing in Jamaica died after trying to drink 21 cocktails on a bar's menu, according to reports out of the UK.

Timothy Southern, 53, of Staffordshire, England, was on vacation with his family in May 2022 in Saint Ann, Jamaica, when he met two Canadian women at a bar trying to complete a 21-drink challenge to celebrate a birthday, according to ITV News.

Southern had been drinking brandy and beer prior to taking up the challenge, according to an inquest.

He joined the women and managed to have 12 drinks before returning to his room at the Royal Decameron Club Caribbean, where he later died.

His family has since criticized the medical treatment he received when they first realized he was ill. 

"He was on his back choking. I put him in the recovery position and screamed for an ambulance," a family member said, according to an inquest reported by ITV. "He was making a gurgling sound. As soon as he was in the recovery position he vomited. I was shouting his name with no response.

"When the nurse arrived I said had an ambulance been called and she said 'no'. I thought she would take over. But that was not the case. I noticed he was starting to lose temperature. I checked his pulse and couldn't find it," the family member continued. 

The nurse reportedly told the family remember that Southern still did have a pulse, and the family member started "to lose it" over witnessing Southern's reported treatment.

"I got a full look at his face and I thought he had passed away. I said, 'Don't just sit there looking at him, start CPR'. She only gave him chest compressions. Maybe if she had known what she was doing, maybe he would still be here."

"The service and treatment he received was disgusting," the family member continued in their comment to the inquest, according to ITV News.

A pathologist in Jamaica's capital of Kingston ruled that Southern died from "acute gastroenteritis due to alcohol consumption." The inquest into Southern's toxicology report, however, could take up to three years before it makes it to the UK, according to ITV News.

An American man who videotaped a tourist defacing the ancient Colosseum in Rome, Italty, said he was "stunned" to see the vandalism unfold in real time.

The message, "Ivan+Haley 23," was carved into a wall inside the Colosseum in an incident filmed by fellow tourist Ryan Lutz, of Orange, California, whose video went viral on social media and was ultimately picked up by Italian officials.

Lutz, who posted the video on YouTube and Reddit, told The Associated Press he was "dumbfounded" that the tourist would deface the well-known monument.

Italian Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano described the carving as "serious, undignified and a sign of great incivility that a tourist defaces one of the most famous places in the world, the Colosseum, to engrave the name of his fiancée."

"I hope that whoever did this will be identified and sanctioned according to our laws," Sangiuliano tweeted.

Tourism Minister Daniela Santanche said she hoped the tourist would be sanctioned "so that he understands the gravity of the gesture." She also called for respect for Italy’s culture and history and said, "We cannot allow those who visit our nation to feel free to behave in this way."

According to Italian news agency ANSA, this was the fourth time this year that graffiti was reported at the Colosseum. The suspect in the latest incident could face $15,000 in fines and up to five years in prison.

Lutz, who is on a two-month backpacking trip through Europe, had just finished a guided tour of the Colosseum on Friday when he witnessed the man "blatantly carving his name" into the wall – an incident that was so shocking to him that he began recording.

"And as you see in the video, I kind of approach him and ask him, dumbfounded at this point, 'Are you serious? Are you really serious?'" Lutz recalled. "And all he could do is like smile at me."

Lutz said he alerted a guard to the situation, but that the guard and his supervisor did nothing, even after Lutz identified the man and offered to share the video. He decided to publish the video online the morning after the incident once he had calmed down.

Lutz, who says he appreciates graffiti and art, said "carving your name seems like a pretty selfish act," adding that people visiting foreign countries cannot repay their hosts "with blatant disrespect like this."

In 2014, a Russian tourist was hit with a fine of 20,000 euros, or $25,000, and received a four-year suspended jail sentence for engraving a big letter 'K' on a wall of the Colosseum.

Two American tourists were cited the following year for aggravated damage after they carved their names in the monument.
