Dominican Republic health officials say the Maryland woman found dead last month with her fiancé in a hotel room likely died from the “shock” of seeing her partner dead.

Ministry of Public Health spokesman Carlos Suero insisted that the Caribbean country shouldn’t be blamed for the series of tourist deaths on the island, which includes Cynthia Ann Day and fiancé Nathaniel Holmes.

Suero claimed that Holmes died, then Day followed, “probably from the shock of seeing the person beside her dead.”

I haven’t heard that name in a few years.
He killed at least one girl, and worried his father literally to death.
Isn’t Joran still locked up in a Brazilian prison?

“Isn’t Joran still locked up in a Brazilian prison?”

Saw a special on him last week. Still in prison — in Peru, I think.

I’m beginning to think the best vacation is to simply stay home and eat ice cream on my back porch.

You should splurge and put it in a bowl.

If the DR’s tourist industry starts to dry up completely, that might help to concentrate the minds of the officials who need to get to the bottom of these deaths/sicknesses in a serious and truthful manner.

First question, Cui Bono?

Some other island maybe trying to drive business their way?

I have not heard anything about dead locals in these stories. If there are no dead locals, then it implies someone is intentionally poisoning Americans.

likely died from the “shock” of seeing her partner dead.


“OK, officer. Thanks. Oh, by the way, one more question. What killed her fiancee?”
“The thought of marrying that woman.”
“Thanks for your time. Say, could I get a drink?”

Somehow, he got hitched while serving his sentence:

Yes, because I have ZERO faith that anything we have been hearing so far is remotely close to the truth.

Seems like lots of “heart attacks” and stuff among healthy, young-ish people.

Many cancellations might get their attention to figure out what is really going on, and put a stop to it.

The Government of the Dominican Republic should shoot down one our Drones to take the Public’s attention off this.

I’m beginning to think my wife is trying to kill me. She is adamant about going to DR for her 50th birthday even though I keep showing her these stories.

Uh, if anything, I would expect her man died from shock, as she is some 13 years younger than he.

Anyway, denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.

Apparently it’s also in DR.

Something weird going on. Any deaths like this for other nationalities? Recently? Also there are other sickness cases and crime cases stacking up from just this year.

Is it just media hype?

Of course not - every other Caribbean island has a similar death count, right?
