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 was staying at the Marriot Back Bay in Boston a few years ago. I pulled a Heineken out of the mini bar and took a swig. I immediately ran to the bathroom and spit it out into the sink. Thankfully, it was only water. A previous guest had drank the beer, refilled it with water and twisted the cap back on. I left a note for the maid, but still got charged for the beer.

I guess this is why some fancy hotels have gone to electronic sensors in their mini fridges to keep this type of thing from happening. You get charged as soon as you remove something from the slot in the fridge.

Those weren’t men...... Traps a trolling

Bingo.

You can bet that all the liquor bottles they have been refilling have disappeared.
