Two more Americans a man from Kansas and a woman from Pennsylvania died during vacations in the Dominican Republic, amid a recent spate of tourist deaths in the country, according to a new report.
The families of Chris Palmer a 41-year-old Army veteran from Kansas who died on April 18, 2018, and Barbara Diane Maser-Mitchell, a 69-year-old retired nurse from Pennsylvania who died on Sept. 17, 2016 came forward to Fox News to report their deaths.
The State Department confirmed the deaths to the network Thursday.
Both Palmer and Maser-Mitchell died of heart attacks, according to official determinations by Dominican authorities, the report said.
Palmer was staying at the Villa Cocotal Palma resort in Punta Cana, according to Fox News. Hed been working at a Mexican resort and went to the Dominican Republic in hopes of selling timeshares and teaching scuba diving there, friends and family said.
He was a salesman and scuba diving instructor who loved traveling, his daughter, Meghan Palmer, told Fox.
In reports given to Palmers family, obtained by the outlet, Dominican authorities said that he had pulmonary edema. But those who knew him feared that wasnt the whole story.
As soon as he died, I wondered if he was poisoned, if he was drugged, Bernadette Hiller, his one-time girlfriend who remained a close friend, told the network. He was healthy as a horse.

Anyone who travels to the DR after what’s been going on is just plain stupid.
Cancel your trip. Go somewhere else. FFS.
“” “Have all of the deaths being reported been Americans? Nobody from other places?” “”
Yes. Although from my impression most tourists there are Americans. Probably a third to a half total. Might be wrong but don’t know any statistics.
Falco died in the Dominican Republic, but that was a car accident.
How is tourism to Haiti?
“Yesterday was the last day of the rest of my life”
Seen on deceased’s t-shirt at a viewing, whose director testified in “Night Court” that he wanted to put the “FUN” back in “FUNERAL”.
RIP Harry Anderson.
skip Haiti as well
Probably better than to Venezuela.
Yes, it’s not unusual in Florida. But usually they die in the water or on the golf courses..........
And Big Papi was shot there, but it was a case of mistaken identity. Americans all look alike, I guess......
I was mistaken. This appears to be Venezuela’s worst warning:
Armed motorcycle gangs operate in traffic jams. Armed robberies by motorcyclists have increased. Comply with demands as victims may be killed for not complying.
Riiiiiiiight.
That’s what the news, ABCNNBCBS, reported the police reported the suspects said. The target was another guy at the same table.........
There is a couple in CO that “survived.” They reported that their room had a chemical smell just before they fell ill. That possibly they are using an insecticide improperly?
Nice to meet You, Dan Dan Fielding.
Whether the deaths are out of proportion or not, I think that is good advice.
