Another American tourist died while vacationing in the Dominican Republic — bringing the recent spate of mysterious deaths to six and prompting an investigation by the FBI, according to a new report.
Robert Bell Wallace, 67, of California, died after drinking from the minibar in his room at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino resort in Punta Cana, his niece, Chloe Arnold, told Fox News.
“We have so many questions,” Arnold told Fox. “We don’t want this to happen to anyone else.”
It is the same hotel where David Harrison, from Maryland, died last year, and his family is also now questioning his sudden death on the island.
Their families came forward after seeing how three other Americans, including an engaged couple, died suddenly last month within five days of each other at another all-inclusive resort on the island. Another death there last year is also now under the spotlight.
Arnold insisted her uncle, an avid traveler, had been “fine” until he had a scotch from his room’s minibar while at the hotel for his stepson’s wedding.

I think another tourist had taken a drink from the minibar.
I hope they get to the bottom.of this. In the meantime tourism is going to take a big hit there.
Illegal home brew alcohol, is most like;y the cause of these deaths. It happened in Mexico a while back..................
Somebody poisoning the drinks in the mini-bar?
why go there?
Sounds like the hotel owners are refilling the bar drinks with illegal alcohol........A similar set of cases happened in Mexico a while back............
Fentanyl
A couple weeks ago I said this would be the perfect assassination weapon.
I’m not going there.....
Possibly. But why tourists?.............
Not that I see a muslim behind every rock, but...
...What better way for a jihadist to kill non-observant muslims and infidels?
Resentful and psychopathic staff member(s).
Don’t go to turd world sh!tholes!!
No matter how *nice* the resort may be, or look, remember what surrounds the property.
Not pretty.
“He hates cans!!!!”
Time to bring back the BYOL warnings that so many bars had back in the 1950s and 60s.
Bring Your Own Liquor.
Possibly..............
About 10 years ago we took a company cruise trip with a stop in Belize. We decided to take a group trip to drift through caverns in inner tubes. It was fun. Only issue was as you left Belize, heavily armed guards were stationed at the gates that protected the city. Not wise going into the jungle unarmed. Never again.
It could be the hotel refilling bottles, or it could be previous guests if they aren’t checking the seals.
Trump’s Fault.
Good question.
C’mon, people . . . vacation in the USA Plenty of nice warm places and casinos, if that’s your thing
If not, then there’s Hawaii, Alaska, and warm or cool summer places
Yeah, the Caribbean et al may be exotic but why even risk your health with the Third Worlders
It’s bad enough when they bring their crapola here.
