The Dominican Republican Deathtrap

https://nypost.com/2019/07/24/inside-the-reports-of-deaths-sickness-that-have-consumed-dominican-republic/
At least 36 Americans have died on the island since January 2018 — and many more have been plagued by “nightmare” illnesses, The Post has found. That death total — which includes everything from unexplained illnesses to drownings to cosmetic surgery gone bad — is even higher than reports have previously suggested.

This sounds like the plot of a bizarre horror film.  How many ways can someone die in the Dominican Republic?  You could drink poisoned liquor from the minibar.  Your could have respiratory failure because your room was just fumigated.  You could get food poisoning.  You could drown in the pool.  You could be the victim of a traffic accident.  You could fall off the boat at sea.  You could be viciously assaulted by a nice couple that you met at the pool.  You (female) could be raped by a resort employee.  You could die during cosmetic surgery.  The list goes on and on.
