Personally, I think not! C'mon now. Like nearly a dozen dead in about a month or so, seems like all at various resorts on vacation.

Two more Americans reported dead after Dominican Republic vacations

Two more Americans — a man from Kansas and a woman from Pennsylvania — died during vacations in the Dominican Republic, amid a recent spate of tourist deaths in the country, according to a new report.

The families of Chris Palmer — a 41-year-old Army veteran from Kansas who died on April 18, 2018, and Barbara Diane Maser-Mitchell, a 69-year-old retired nurse from Pennsylvania who died on Sept. 17, 2016 — came forward to Fox News to report their deaths.

The State Department confirmed the deaths to the network Thursday.

Both Palmer and Maser-Mitchell died of heart attacks, according to official determinations by Dominican authorities, the report said.

Palmer was staying at the Villa Cocotal Palma resort in Punta Cana, according to Fox News. He’d been working at a Mexican resort and went to the Dominican Republic in hopes of selling timeshares and teaching scuba diving there, friends and family said.

He was a salesman and scuba diving instructor who loved traveling, his daughter, Meghan Palmer, told Fox.

In reports given to Palmer’s family, obtained by the outlet, Dominican authorities said that he had pulmonary edema. But those who knew him feared that wasn’t the whole story.

“As soon as he died, I wondered if he was poisoned, if he was drugged,” Bernadette Hiller, his one-time girlfriend who remained a close friend, told the network. “He was healthy as a horse.”

At some point during his stay, Palmer told his friends he had a bad headache, Palmer told the outlet.

He was found dead in his room after aspirating his own vomit, Dominican authorities said, according to the report.

Like many others whose relatives have recently died in the country, Palmer’s loved ones said they felt pressured to get his body cremated.

“We are devastated and are seeking answers,” Hiller told Fox. “This was so sudden and unexpected. This has been a nightmare for his family.”

Tenth American Dies After Visiting Dominican Republic

On Tuesday, a Louisiana honeymooner became the tenth American to die in the last year after visiting the Dominican Republic.

Susan Simoneaux and Keith Williams had been together for a decade by the time they tied the knot. To celebrate, they planned a dream honeymoon in Punta Cana. Days after returning home, Simoneaux was rushed to the hospital with fluid in her lungs. She died soon after.

Williams said he was unaware about the recent string of American deaths connected to the Dominican Republic. “I would have never went if I would have known,” he told local CBS affiliate WWLTV. “I did not know to be honest with you.”

The deaths have not been officially connected by either Dominican or U.S. authorities, but there are some frightening threads running through the reports. Of the nine other casualties, at least half — Nathaniel Holmes, 63, and Cynthia Day, 49, Miranda Schaup-Werner, 41, and David Harrison, 45, had fluid in their lungs.

Other causes of death are still waiting on autopsy or toxicology reports. But three travelers died at the Bahia Principe resort in La Romana within days of one another, while two others died at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana. More than one was reported drinking at a hotel minibar.
