Bahamas officials say they do not suspect foul play in the death of 23-year-old American Dinari McAlmont, but his mother is convinced he was brutally beaten.
Authorities found McAlmont, of Maryland, dead on Paradise Island in Nassau on April 6, just 12 hours after he landed on the island with his parents for a vacation. His mother, Michelle Mcalmont, told FOX 5 that it is clear from a photo officials showed her that he was traumatized.Â
“When I looked at the photo they showed me, my son was beaten,” she said. “I need justice for my baby. I need justice.”
