Despite a string of high-profile deaths this year of Americans from illnesses in the Dominican Republic, the State Department says there has been no 'uptick' in fatal incidents of Americans in the country.
Despite a string of high-profile deaths this year of Americans from illnesses in the Dominican Republic, the U.S. State Department said Wednesday there has not been an"uptick" in fatal incidents of Americans in the Caribbean country.
The spokesperson said that more than 2.7 million U.S. citizens visit the Dominican Republic each year and, as in most countries,"the overwhelming majority travel without incident." Nathaniel Holmes, 63, and his fiancée, Cynthia Ann Day, 49, of Maryland were found dead on May 30 in their room at the Grand Bahia Principe La Romana Resort in San Pedro de Macoris on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic.
The couple died just five days after Miranda Schaupp-Werner, 41, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, was found dead at the Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville hotel at the same resort. "The safety of U.S. citizens that live in, work in, and visit the Dominican Republic remains our highest priority," Robin Bernstein, the U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, said in a statement earlier this month."These incidents are tragic and we offer our deepest condolences to those personally impacted."
Curran's death brings the total of Americans who died in the Dominican Republic since June 2018 to nine.
