Following a string of high-profile cases of American tourists getting sick, dying, and being assaulted, another American tourist has died in the Dominican Republic.

The increase in the number of mysterious deaths and sudden illnesses at resorts in the Dominican Republic has drawn an unsettling amount of attention to the nation. The events, which have been widely reported, prompted government officials in the Dominican Republic as well as U.S. ambassadors to reassure travelers that the country is still safe. However, another death has just been reported.

In the most recent incident, a man named Robert Wallace was vacationing in the Dominican Republic when things took a grisly turn. Wallace, 67, was from California and had been in the country to attend his stepson’s wedding. He was staying at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana where he eventually died. His niece, Chloe Arnold, told Fox News on Sunday that Wallace had fallen ill almost immediately after having had a scotch from his hotel room’s minibar. Arnold also reiterates that her uncle, an avid traveler, had been in good health before his sudden death.
