Trainer Valdimir Cerin's wife was on vacation in Puerta Viarta, and this morning she was coming down her apartments steps a lost her balance and suffered a broken neck and was pronounced dead.

Condolances and prayers for Valdimir family at this time, May peace be with them Amen.

Oh no! That's so terrible. My prayers to the family at this time. :( Things can truly change in the blink of an eye as we know in this business but you don't expect it to happen like this.

Good night what a tragedy, you would never think of such a thing happening when you're on vacation. Life can be so fleeting, my condolences to the family.

My God, how unbelievable. You would think that only happens in the movies. And how terrible to have to deal with this in a foreign country. Poor Vlad.

All theories are speculation thus far.
She had a massive head injury as a result of the fall, however.... no one is entirely certain as to what precipitated the fall on the stairs... she apparently ended up in a bit of a water thingy, but there could have been a physical occurance that led to the incident... such as an anurisn(sp) or maybe the stairs were that slippery, and the injury that severe... time will tell.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Cerin family.

There are times you should think before you type. This is one of the times.
Puerto Vallarta was the location of this horrible accident-NOT the causation.
