#TheBahamas, May 6, 2022 – I have been regretfully informed today of the death of three American visitors, two men and a woman, at a resort property on Exuma. Another American woman has been airlifted to Princess Margaret Hospital. I have been briefed by the commissioner of police and the resort’s executive management on the matter.
I am currently in Eleuthera on ministerial business. As I am acting in the capacity of prime minister, I have briefed Prime Minister Davis on the matter.
Police are investigating and the cause of death is still unknown. However, I am advised that foul play is not suspected. I have asked Minister of Health and Wellness Dr. Michael Darville to lead a delegation this evening to Exuma of health & wellness, environment and public works officials. The public will be kept abreast of information as soon as it becomes available. We offer our thoughts and prayers to the families affected.
