Not always, they get murdered a lot. 8 Americans , according to US Embasady in Colombia, died just in Medellin in 2 months (i think the number is more as they refuse to make tests at Medellin Central Hospital for this Escopamine) . Probably they died like at less 10 foreign each month in all cities, and maybe hundredths/thousands get robbed/kidnapped each month and have all their bank accounts cleaned , maybe even some credit lines created.
