A family member identified one of the victims as Vincent Chiarella of Birmingham, Alabama.
Austin Chiarella confirmed that his parents, Vincent and Donnis Chiarella, were guests at the resort. His father was found dead and his mother was injured. The couple celebrated a wedding anniversary. Donnis couldn’t move and her husband was found dead on the floor.
“Her legs and arms [were] swollen, and she couldn’t move, and she screamed to get someone to come in the door,” Austin said.
Bahamian Health Minister Dr. Michael Darville confirmed that the hotel guests sought medical treatment for nausea and vomiting before Austin’s father was found dead.
“We feel that what we are seeing is an isolated case associated in a particular area,” he claimed.
