The girlfriend of one of the tourists who was killed on a trip to Mexico shared his heartbreaking final voice message to her.
Australian Callum Robinson had been visiting Baja California in Mexico with his brother, Jake Robinson, 30, along with their American friend, Jack Carter Rhoad, 30.
All three of the group were found dead at the bottom of a 50-foot-deep well in Baja, California.
The tourists were believed to have last been seen alive in the city of Ensenada on April 27, before failing to check into their pre-booked accommodation.
Authorities in Mexico initially said they believed that they had been the victims of a violent robbery who intended to 'steal their tires'.

As reported by CBS, Chief state prosecutor Maria Elena Andrade Ramirez said in a press conference: “They approached, with the intention of stealing their vehicle and taking the tires and other parts to put them on the older-model pickup they were driving.”
Callum, 33, left his girlfriend, Emily Horwath, a voice message getting in touch with her, which would become the final message he sent to her.
Horwath posted the touching final message she'd received from him to her Instagram page, Australia's 7 News reported.

In the message, Callum said: “Happy Tuesday! Good morning.
“It’s 11:11 and I’m just thinking about you. Just wanted to drop you a quick message and say hello, baby.
“Hope you’re having a phenomenal start to your day. I’m sensing a big grin on your face for some reason today. I hope you’re full of positivity and smiles.
“Cheers, baby. Miss ya.”

In a caption to the post she also paid tribute to her late partner, writing: “This man changed my life in a way that I can’t even put into words,”
“I don’t yet understand a world without him and his energy in it. I feel so grateful to have loved him."
She added: “Tell your people you love them. “Live life to the fullest every day be kind to others, laugh uncontrollably.

"Don’t let the small stuff bother you. lead with positivity. and live like Cal.”
The men's deaths have sparked fears about the safety of tourists travelling to Mexico.
Addressing the concerns, the governor of Baja California Marina del Pilar Ávila said: “Baja California is and will continue to be a state with safe tourism for the thousands of people who visit us from the rest of the country and the world.
"I send my condolences and solidarity to the families at this difficult time.”
