7th American found dead.

Seems like they're being poisoned via the hotel mini-bar.

Death toll up to 10. Others were sick.

Insecticide is one of the primary suspects.

I traveled through Guatemala in the middle of a civil war, but I didn't even want to leave my hotel room in Belize.

As a frequent shark diver, it is relevant information for me. If she was bleeding, that's one thing. But if sharks are organizing and are going to put humans on their feeding list, I need to know.

:-D

Tainted alcohol is a known issue in these "resort countries".

I don't think it's malicious, they're just trying to make more profit. Same shit as when they cut drugs to increase revenue.

Don't similar things happen in India with tainted booze? Like 50-100 people get sick or worse because of the cheap processing.

3 Americans dead and another in critical condition in the Bahamas.

No foul play is suspected, but considering both couples got sick it's either something environmental or in their food/drink.

Recent updates make it sound like it'll be environmental. There was other survivors and this was a "split villa", so it shared all the utilities (AC, heater, water, etc.).

Probably one of the things they're investigating.
