Three Americans died at the Sandals resort in the Bahamas

Officials reported three Americans died of unexplained reasons at a Sandals resort on the Bahamas’ Great Exuma island on Friday, and police are investigating. According to Bahamian Acting Prime Minister Chester Cooper, two men and a woman died at the resort, while a fourth American lady was taken to a hospital in Nassau, the Bahamas’ capital.

Cooper was “assured that foul play is not suspected,” despite the fact that authorities are investigating.
The bodies showed no evidence of trauma, according to the Royal Bahamas Police Force. According to preliminary investigations, the corpses were discovered unconscious in two distinct locations: a male in one home with no evidence of trauma, and the couple in a second villa, police said in a statement released on Saturday.

According to the article, the pair had complained of sickness the night before.

“Officers discovered a Caucasian guy slumped against a restroom wall, unresponsive,” according to the Royal Bahamas Police Force. “Also unresponsive was the woman. Both people appeared to be convulsing. The cops investigated the bodies for indications of trauma but found none.”

To ascertain the specific cause of death, authorities will wait for an autopsy report, and for the time being, “this case remains under active investigation.”

Cooper did not mention the location, but Sandals Resorts spokesman Stacy Royal confirmed to CNN that three guests died at the Sandals Emerald Bay resort on Great Exuma. A fourth hospitalized individual was not mentioned by Sandals Resorts, which operates more than a dozen all-inclusive resorts in the Atlantic and Caribbean.

There were no details published regarding what caused the fatalities, why the fourth American was transported to the hospital if that individual was at the resort, their condition, or their identities. “A health issue was first detected, and we quickly contacted emergency medical personnel and appropriate local authorities,” said the company.

The firm said it was striving to “assist both the investigation and the guests’ families in any way possible,” but that it couldn’t provide any further details “out of respect for our guests’ privacy.” Cooper has invited the country’s minister of health and wellness to lead a delegation of health, environment, and public works authorities to the Exuma area on Friday.

Cooper, who is also the Bahamas’ tourism minister, stated, “The public will be kept informed as soon as information becomes available.” “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families that have been touched.”
