The Grave of a Fallen Hero

06/22/09 07:53

Pablo Escobar was once ranked the seventh most richest man in the world. Twenty years have passed since his death, and many are wondering why his grave isn't that big of a tourist attraction.

Even though he specialized in the drug trade, he was seen as a Robin Hood type of figure to the people of Medellin. He used his riches made from drugs to give back to the poor.

Even though his grave isn't frequently visited by tourists, it would seem that some people still respect their fallen hero by keeping the grave stocked with fresh flowers and decorations.
