Tourist dies on Jost van Dyke; delay in getting First Responders
While information and reports are still unfolding, the man of Asian nationality is said to have been with two others on a hike when he started complaining of pains.
His friends had to walk through dangerous unpaved roads, tracks and challenging terrain to seek help from first responders on the sister island.
Long walk & bad roads
However, when they returned, it was too late for first responders, according to one eyewitness.
They noticed that he was frothing from the mouth and later was pronounced dead. Police and BVI Tourist Board officials are now investigating what happened, as the man is believed to be a worker on one of the smaller cruise ships.
Our newsroom will update the story as more accurate information becomes available.
This brings Tourist deaths to three, within a two weeks period in the Virgin Islands (VI). The other two deaths include a Florida Cardiologist, Dr Joseph Horgan—whose body was found at Buck Island—and another Caucasian female of American nationality, Denise Regan, 62, drowned in the waters off Cooper Island.
