Four tourists from the United States have died in mysterious circumstances while vacationing in the Dominican Republic since April.
Three of the deaths were reported in late May at the Bahia Principe Hotel, a luxury all-inclusive resort located in the coastal region of La Romana; the latest report comes from the family of Robert Wallace, a 67-year-old man from California who apparently died from an intoxication after drinking from the mini refrigerator in his suite at the Hard Rock Hotel.
While there are some suspicions of poisoning in all four deaths, toxicology reports are still forthcoming.
FBI agents have reportedly arrived in the island to investigate; in the meantime, tourism operators fear that they will lose considerable businesses because of negative headlines, especially since Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz was recently shot while visiting Santo Domingo.

Lack of Planning Could Disrupt British School Lunches After Brexit
With the United Kingdom tentatively scheduled to leave the European Union in October, the Food Research Collaboration agency has learned that regional governments have not made contingency plans to provide meals at public schools, retirement homes or homeless shelters.

The State of Fake News in 2019
Ever since the scandalous revelations about fake news reports circulating during the 2016 presidential elections in the United States and the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom, people around the world have become more guarded and selective about where they get their news from.
A new survey conducted by Oxford University and the Reuters Institute indicates that mistrust and political ideology are shaping attitudes towards journalism.
The survey, which was conducted among 75,000 respondents in more than 35 countries, shows that established news outlets are enjoying larger and more loyal audiences; however, mistrust is clear at both ends of the political spectrum, particularly in the U.S., a country where less than 10 percent of people who consider themselves to be on the right end of the spectrum trust established news sources.
In countries such as Brazil and Malaysia, many people skip traditional news outlets altogether because they no longer trust newspapers, radio stations or television channels; instead, they turn to WhatsApp, a messaging network owned by Facebook, a social network that has acknowledged problems with fake news distribution in the past.
