Dominican tourism officials sought to reassure U.S. tourists Wednesday in a lengthy statement stressing that U.S. federal agents and health specialists are taking an active role investigating the rash of deaths of Americans vacationing on the popular Caribbean island.
The Tourism Ministry said it wanted to “extend its sincerest condolences to the families and friends of those affected in the tragic events that have been reported over the last few weeks in the country.”
The statement highlighted the role of the FBI in the investigation into the deaths, which involved people who were described as generally healthy and exhibiting no signs of illness prior to arriving at the resorts. Some had consumed beverages from the room minibar before becoming suddenly and critically ill.
Six Americans have died while vacationing in the Dominican Republic. Those deaths are suspicious.
