...The CDC joined other international agencies in conducting tests... The FBI confirmed it was assisting local authorities in investigating the deaths.
The FBI is now investigating six mysterious deaths of seemingly healthy Americans who died suddenly at one of two resorts in the Dominican Republic within the past year. ~snip~
US State Department officials have issued a travel advisory for American tourists heading to the DR, telling vacationers to exercise 'increased caution'.
'Violent crime, including armed robbery, homicide and sexual assault is a concern throughout the Dominican Republic,' the advisory stated on April 15. 'The wide availability of weapons, the use and trade of illicit drugs, and a weak criminal justice system contribute to the high level of criminality on the broader scale.'

“Tourists are likely forewarned not to leave the resort property if they care to live very long.
In Ocho Rios there was never such a warning. But if the machine gun toting guards patrolling around the perimeter of a 12-foot chain-link fence topped with razor wire wasn’t enough of a clue that venturing outside of the confines was probably ill-advised... you were a complete idiot.
Dutch (not French) St. Maarten is the only Caribbean place I went that felt halfway nice - but you can get a far better experience with less risk in Maui.
FBI investigating? Can they even find the Dominican Republic? The Keystone Kops laugh at them.
news flash donald trump colluded with dominicans not russians....roflmao
Yes...I definitely got the impression that it could be unsafe there. I was younger and stupider in those days, too. (and I am pretty stupid on occasion now, so that is saying something)
Things that make you go “Hmmmm...”
The couple that died in Fiji (on vacation from Texas) spent an extended period with vomiting and diarrhea before dying in their hotel room. A stomach flu or ebola could do that. Absent pathology reports, it's just guesswork. Why did a mention ebola? African "migrants" from the DRC have crossed into the US via the Mexican border. They may be mingling with people in Texas already.
Was there an investigation into Las Vegas? I seem to recall the shooting was in the news for like two days than never mentioned again so I may have missed the outcome.
What jurisdiction does the FBI enjoy in the DR?
Why need anyone in the DR tell the FBI anything?
It’s killed people at other resorts.
Possibly a local vendor, selling bad, home made booze.
