Death at the Hands of a Foreign Culture
Nick Castle took his zest for life and University of California degree to China in 2012 as a Peace Corps volunteer at the age of 22. He went to teach English and dived headfirst into Chinese culture.
In February 2013, he died in China from an infectious disease, after what may have been a series of mistakes or miscommunications. If things had gone differently with his medical care, it’s possible that Castle would still be alive.
