My brother Ken last resided in Rio San Juan at the Hotel Bahia Blanca. He was 62, tall, long blond hair and very underweight. He committed suicide by hanging himself. It happened sometime in early October, 2014, somewhere in the hills between Nagua and Rio San Juan. It was not unexpected. He had a drug addiction problem, frequented prostitutes, was in poor health and getting increasingly unstable mentally. He spent all his money but refused to come back to the US. He was buried in San Francisco de Macoris.
I have been in touch with the embassy. They have been helpful but they are limited in what they can do. The police did a cursory investigation but haven't offered much information. I have received conflicting accounts because of the overlapping police jurisdictions. At first I was told that he was murdered.
I am wondering if anyone there knew him or knows about the circumstances surrounding his death? I just want to know more about his last days there.
