The National Police is investigating the death on 25 May 2019 of 41-year old psychotherapist from Allentown, Pennsylvania Miranda Lynn Schaup-Werner who was staying with her husband Daniel Werner at the Bahía Príncipe hotel in Playa Nueva Romana. Just a week before, a couple was reported dead at the same hotel from respiratory insufficiency. The results of the forensic autopsy are yet to be known.
Diario Libre reported that the Criminal Investigations Division (Dicrim) Police report indicates that they were called at 9:45pm to the room where the couple was staying. The forensic doctor certified the woman’s sudden death. The causes need to be determined by an autopsy.
The family has requested toxicology tests. The husband explained his wife fell ill after consuming from the mini-bar.
The document states that the husband of the deceased, Daniel Frank Werner, 49, explained that they had arrived at the hotel that same day to celebrate the tenth anniversary of marriage and that at 7:30pm, she was taking photographs from the balcony of the room when she told him she was feeling ill, so he proceeded to call for help.
The corpse was taken Santo Domingo for autopsy at the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (Inacif).
National Police captain José del Carmen Lora, prosecutor Brenda Jabalera and Corporal Fernando Antonio Gonzáles Cuevas, in charge of the Scientific Police in San Pedro de Macorís, were called to the scene of the death.
