The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has announced that in the next few days they should be able to divulge the results of the toxicology tests carried out on the three tourists who died within a week at a single Dominican Republic tourist complex.
Autopsies carried out in the Dominican Republic maintain the tourists all died of natural causes, but the families have their doubts.
The FBI became involved in the investigations after the Ministry of Tourism requested the US law agency cooperation after the three tourists died at the same compound in May-June 2019.
The families of Miranda Schaup Werner, aged 41, Nathaniel Holmes, 63, and Cynthia Ann Day, 49, have ordered their own private autopsies and the latter two will also have toxicology tests. The US tourists were staying at resorts within the Playa Nueva Romana complex in San Pedro de Macoris. The autopsies carried out in the Dominican Republic stated that the three died of pulmonary edema, which was questioned by the families.
