Thoughts on the DR death toll
I have not seen even a whiff of wonder in our mainstream media whether any other country's nationals are dying of "heart attacks" while on vacation in the Dominican Republic. Are any of you aware if French, English, German or other tourist nationalities are suffering similar fates while on holiday there, or is this truly an American only abnormality?

Sounds like poisoned minibars to me.

In days long ago a good journalist would do some research and include that info in the article. Now it's just let's write a few paragraphs with a clickbait headline and hope Yahoo picks it up. |

Google sez: Last year, the Dominican Republic received a record-breaking 6.18 million visitors, which was a 3.9 percent increase compared to 2016. The main source market for the country's tourism was the United States, which made up more than two million of the Caribbean nation's total visitors.May 31, 2018 |

Isn’t pulmonary edema a symptom of cyanide poisoning? And insecticide parathenon poisoning.

Found out a few months later that it tasted odd because they were filling the bottles with rubbing alcohol. https://www.nydailynews.com/life-sty...icle-1.1414597 |

come to relax.
Stay because you were poisoned. |
The over simplification of what's going on in the DR is what annoys me. The defenders in the travel business say "x% of people die there all the time!" or "this is nothing new, 15 Americans died there last year!".
But that's just b.s. defensiveness because this is hurting their profession (travel agents). It's not the quantity of people who have died, it's the causes. Take for example last year - the State Department said that roughly 13 Americans died in the DR last year- were all from suicide, drownings, automobile accidents, etc. which aren't suspicious! This year, the deaths are suspicious - healthy people passing out in their rooms and never regaining consciousness after drinking something.... not drowning, or suicide or car accident etc. The Travel industry is spinning this like crazy, let's see what the FBI finds after it completes the tox reports on teh people who died that the DR didn't cremate. |
