A Maryland tourist who was found dead on a beach in the Bahamas drowned, officials said Wednesday, but his family is seeking answers about what led to his death.
The man was identified by the Royal Bahamas Police Force as 23-year-old Dinari McAlmont. McAlmont was from Bowie, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., and had arrived in the country on Friday, April 4 with family members, police said.
McAlmont was found on a beach on Paradise Island early Saturday morning. A post-mortem examination found that he "died as a result of drowning," police said. A toxicology analysis is forthcoming and an investigation remains ongoing, but authorities said that "foul play is not suspected at this time."
