'He vomited blood and called his mother': another American died suddenly in the Dominican Republic

On July 14, the US State Department confirmed the death of another American in the Dominican Republic - in March of this year, a tourist died at a resort from a “respiratory disease.” He is the 11th U.S. resident to die in the Caribbean country this year and at least the 14th known to have died in the Dominican Republic.

According to his family, 31-year-old Tracy Jerome Jester, Jr., of Georgia, died shortly after going sightseeing with his sister, writes Fox News. It is not yet specified which resort the man stayed on during the trip.

“We can confirm the death of a U.S. citizen in the Dominican Republic in March 2019,” a State Department spokesman said Sunday. “We express our sincere condolences to the family for their loss. Out of respect for the family during this difficult time, we are unable to provide further information."

Jester's relatives say they have questions about the true cause of death for an 31-year-old man.

“On Saturday they went for a walk, sightseeing. They said they had a good day,” said Jester's mother, Melody Moore.

Moore said she talked to her son after the first day of the trip and he seemed fine. But the very next day at about 3:30 in the morning, Jester’s sister called Moore and said that her brother was very unwell.

The sister said that Jester "suddenly fell on his knees and called his mother, he began to vomit blood." According to the woman, he repeated: "Mom, I can not breathe, I can not breathe!".

Moore said that on the morning of 10 the next day, her son was planning to fly home. Until the morning he did not live. The man also told his mother that he drank a carbonated drink that had an unusual taste, writes The Sun.

Jester's sister called the ambulance service, but it was too late, Moore said. It is reported that Jester suffered from lupus, but it is unclear whether this disease was associated with his sudden death.

“As his mother, I want to go where he was. To where he died. There's something wrong with his death, something really wrong,” Moore said. “I wasn’t there when my son took his last breath.” It hurts and leaves a lot of questions.”

Jester is the eleventh American to die while traveling to the Dominican Republic in 2019, and the fourteenth to die there since June 2018.

In June, the country's tourism minister, Francisco Javier Garcia, condemned the journalists for allegedly presenting everything as a series of deaths. He stated that, according to the US Department of State, American tourists died solely for natural reasons.

“The Dominican Republic believes the number of American deaths is exaggerated,” Garcia said. “And the media took it as an avalanche of deaths.”

But several relatives of deceased Americans expressed disbelief that the authorities of the Dominican Republic had informed them of the death of their relatives. Many also expressed dissatisfaction with the US State Department, which, they said, played a too passive role in the investigation.

The FBI said it tested alcohol from at least one mini-bar in one of the rooms at the Bahia Principe resort, where several American tourists were killed.
