After an American man vanished during a trip to Paradise Island in the Bahamas with his parents and was discovered lifeless on a beach the next day, Bahamian authorities have disclosed the results of the autopsy.
Dinari McAlmont, a 23-year-old from Maryland, was found deceased on Paradise Island in Nassau on April 6, merely 12 hours following his arrival on the island with his parents.
“Following a post-mortem assessment, the pathologist determined that the individual perished due to drowning,” stated the Royal Bahamas Police Force during a news briefing on Wednesday, mentioning that the authorities are still awaiting the outcome of a toxicology analysis.
“Foul play is not suspected at this time,” the police force said, following comments from Michelle McAlmont, McAlmont’s mother, to Eyewitness News Bahamas expressing her belief that her son had been beaten.
Dinari McAlmont apparently left his parents during dinner to get a jacket, which is when he disappeared, and his parents filed a missing person report when they could not track him using cellphone location data. (iStock)
