AVENEL, New Jersey -- A State Department official confirms the death of another American tourist in the Dominican Republic last week, the eighth to die while on vacation in that country since last year.

Joseph Allen, 55, of Avenel, New Jersey, was found dead in his hotel room at Terra Linda in Sosua on the morning of June 13, his sister confirmed to ABC.

In a phone interview, Jamie Reed told ABC her brother was vacationing with friends to celebrate a friend's birthday.

Friends told Reed that Allen "complained about being hot at the pool. He said he was going to his room to take a shower. When his friends came back, he said he wasn't feeling 100% again, and said he was going to lie down for the night. The next morning his friend said he hadn't heard from Joe before

Joseph E. Allen III, known as Joe by family, was visiting the island nation to celebrate a friend’s birthday in Sosúa when he suddenly died last Thursday, Allen’s brother, Jason, explained to ESSENCE in an e-mail.

Jason Allen has been trying to bring attention to his brother’s case in order to get the support needed to figure out exactly what happened to the healthy 55-year-old, who had no known medical issues. In fact, Jason Allen wrote in a letter that he sent on June 15 to New Jersey senator Bob Menendez (which he shared with ESSENCE), Joe “had just had a physical before his trip that showed him to be in very good shape with no issues.”

“To make matters worse, only a few hours after finding my brother Joe, my nephew Amir, Joe’s only son, arrived in the Dominican Republic to celebrate Father’s Day with his dad, only to learn that his father had passed away,” Jason Allen wrote in the letter to the senator, in which he petitioned for help.

Do you people have to take a college course called DONT GO WHERE YOU ARE NOT WANTED.


Think, try.

The only reason that place exists is because of American tourists giving them our money.

They pour it into name brand bottles. Maximize profit.

"Buh buh buh, I paid for my vacation already"

Well, now you pay with your life.
