At this time I'm quite sure it was an accident

I was told his bike was hit head on..........by an oncoming car and he was thrown several feet to his death instantly.
By now other people on this board have better details then mine.

Gringo from NY

Several months ago a buddy from NY came to Sosua.
Right coming from airport immediately rented a bike and was driving by Casa Marina. There two bumps there. He slowed down on the first one. Did not know about the second. Accelerated. Was thrown away down to the ground.
And within just one hour upon arriving to Sosua (first time to DR at all) was under surgery in Emergency room.

Cool vacation!

Don't think so

I read (on another board) about a 'Swiss Dominican' who supposedly was killed in Cabarete?
Could this be the same person?

m'frog

I have heard the news from 7 different people now and all are just about the same.
Thay say it happened on the Puerto Plata Malecon in front of a car rental place, also he was carrying a back pack with his lap top in it that mysteriously disappeared?

I now have the complete story..............

My wife just told me she saw the news on TV last night.

Anthony a Swiss National was killed instantly when he left his place of work in Villa's Cofresi, Puerto Plata at 12:30 AM.

Anthony was going extremely fast at about 1:00 AM. along the Malecon as was the oncoming Suv, Anthony was forced off upon impact and died instantly.

The driver of the Suv. is in Hospital in serious condition as the Bike went through the Suv's winshield and caught fire.

All joking aside, yes you sound like a very decent person. I'm sure he appreciated your presence in his time of need. That was very kind of you.
