No, only him.

LE specifically said he is not a suspect


He alone is a named person of interest. He alone had his passport taken. He is being monitored in a hotel room by LE, basically house arrest.

Over 4000 Americans drown every year

Over 300,000 people drown annually around the world

About 2-3 people drown weekly while on vacation in another country.

This is not rare at all. Water is very dangerous and when you combine water and alcohol - it is like drinking and driving.

Four tourists tried swimming in red flag conditions and drowned. Don’t know if there were any mitigating conditions, like alcohol. I believe all were men.

yep, red flag swimming can kill anyone


In Florida you can get arrested for swimming when the red flags are up. The life guards do not want to drown while saving your stupid drunk self. In the DR they don't care.

But in Florida you can be shot dead if you make a u turn in a driveway you don't own when you accidentally make a wrong turn.

And even if the "owner" mistakes your house for his - shooting dead by mistake is just fine too.

Maybe because they don’t want him to flee.

Be cautious of limitless alcohol

Others?

Is this list just for this resort in Punta Cana? All of DR? What about Ocean City, MD? Or Blackburg, VA?
