Authorities in the Bahamas on Monday identified the three American tourists who died under mysterious circumstances at the luxury Sandals Emerald Bay resort on the island of Exuma.

Royal Bahamas Police Force Commissioner Paul Rolle named the deceased during a press conference as Robbie Phillips, 65, and Michael Phillips, 68, both from Tennessee, and Vincent Chiarella, 64, from Florida.

The three Americans were found dead in two separate villas at the resort Friday, just hours after separately seeking medical treatment because they were feeling unwell.

Food Poisoning ?

I predict counterfeit booze.

I predict counterfeit booze.

By now I would think the investigation would elucidate if they had similar drinks that night. By now, Judge Robert's should know who the leaker is.

The theory floating around yesterday is that it might have been a faulty air conditioner. When they arrived they were told there was an issue with it that was being worked on. Maybe a coolant leak or something with the Freon that released a toxic gas into the room

Counterfeit booze at a resort in the Caribbean?

Booze poisoning 🤪

It all tastes toxic so how would they know

Thanks. Is a possibility. Thanks

Counterfeit booze at a resort in the Caribbean?

I'll stick to canned beer, and I'll open the can.

I had read elsewhere it’s suspect a Freon leak out of the room air conditioner. While Freon isn’t toxic, it can displace oxygen and you asphyxiate.

Were they drinking ?

Counterfeit booze at a resort in the Caribbean?

Yup. I was reading a lot of such stories last year. Fake booze containing methanol was killing people.

Doubt there is enough Freon in an air conditioner to asphyxiate someone, especially given that Freon is heavier than air and will fall to the ground and flow underneath the door or any other opening through which it can escape.

Great point.

Never understand the love for alcohol, much less obsession.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Freon is not very toxic, I believe.

When I hear “A/C units” on big buildings, I think “Legionaire’s Disease”! Totally different issue.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Especially since many (most?) of us *drove* around with Freon R-12 for decades, and never heard of any such “toxicity” problem from those! Not even from accidents!

[Jeff Chandler]

Legionnaires Disease?

[Jeff Chandler]

Beat me to it.

[Bullish]

Fentanyl residue?
