Now who knows how many tourists normally die in the Dominican Republic, but this is concerning nonetheless. More than one case had the family mentioning the minibar. Possible reasons could be grieving relatives grasping for sense in sudden death, or greedy people wanting to sue, or my assumption, foul play.

If I ever need to fake my death,
I think that’s how I will do it.

I wonder if an autopsy would show any type of poison.

Sad. Maybe those bottles in the minibar have been used before and refilled. And who knows what illness the person had who drank out of it before.
That was not supposed to happen.

I think the hotel may be stocking its mini-bars with tainted alcohol.

Could it be as simple as the help “replacing” what they drink?

Lots of poisons can only be found if someone is actively looking.
The castor oil plant seeds can be used to make ricin pretty easily. I just looked it up; it grows anywhere tropical/subtropical.
The symptoms look like typical food poisoning/travels’ stomach.
Just looked; ricin is also basically impossible to test for. They have to look for anti-bodies.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the DI has a serial killer on the loose.

I’m betting on a serial killer.
Also betting on ricin.

I say it’s a serial killer. Somehow opening these small bottles of alcohol, adding something (maybe fentanyl) and resealing them. People don’t usually check these bottles terribly thoroughly when making a drink, especially when they’re not aware there may be danger. It will be someone working at the hotels - maybe more than one person involved.
To: JudyinCanada
100% agree. Serial killer.

On May 30, an engaged couple from Maryland, Edward Holmes, 63, and Cynthia Day, 49, died in their room at the Bahia Principe La Romana. A hotel employee found them unresponsive in their room after they failed to check out. Dominican authorities have said either preliminary or final autopsies indicated they all died of natural causes A couple died in their room....from natural causes?

Wouldn’t affect me, minibars are total ripoffs.
I look in the fridge for stuff I want, hop a bus to the mercado and stock up for less than a third of the minibar charge, plus some extras.
Set the minibar stuff aside & put my stash in it.
Too bad for these victims but it does sound like serial murder. And then that sports star is shot in the back in a bar. DomRep doesn’t sound too safe and their minister for tourism is sweating bullets on TV.
