3 Americans found dead in same Dominican Republic resort within 5 days
An investigation is underway in the Dominican Republic, after three U.S. citizens were found dead in a resort in the Dominican Republican city of La Romana at the end of May. All three had checked into the Bahia Principe Hotel resort on May 25, according to CNN.
It remains unclear whether the three deaths, of a Pennsylvania woman and a Maryland couple, are connected, but U.S. officials said they are actively monitoring the investigations.
Miranda Schaup-Werner, 41, who was celebrating her 10th wedding anniversary, died the day she checked into the hotel. Schaup-Werner family spokesman Jay McDonald said she had a drink at the hotel bar shortly before becoming ill. Dominican officials told the family that the cause of death was “pulmonary edema and respiratory failure” — the same cause attributed to the Maryland couple.
Dominican officials declined to confirm those findings to The Washington Post and said toxicology tests were still pending.
McDonald said initially that they understood that local authorities refused to run toxicology tests, but were later moved to run them.
The family declined to make any further comment.
