Yikes! How sad. The article says the person was found in a pool of blood. Do we know anything more about this?Originally Posted by Scottj
A news source in Aruba forum has reported that the victim was a 79 year-old woman and that she died of natural causes.
Yes, I suppose bleeding to death is the samething as natural causes.
I can not imagine bringing a loved one home from a vacation deceased ,I hope they have great memories of their last days . While there in July a 45 year old gentleman died while scuba diving. His family had to remain for a few days to be able to bring him home . I hope the family does not have to read the above quote , it was not necessary to establish that fact ,this was sad enough and does it really matter how they passed . Tragedies are often misquoted until the facts are established.
Well yes it DOES matter how the person passed. It's one thing if the person died of natural causes, heart attack, brain aneurysm, whatever. And it's another thing if the person died accidentally, like the gentleman to whom you refer. But I think we all would be concerned if someone died in a pool of blood at our resort. What happened to them? Should we all as owners be concerned with some perpetrator at our home away from home? Should security be beefed up? I think we as responsible owners should know all the facts here.
It is up to the family to release that information, on how she pass away not Lacabana.
Or are you trying make more out this
The only reason I could see more info released is for the understanding of what happened. A pool of blood (at first glance) sounds almost like a crime scene ( after all, we only see that on CSI)-- but it could happen in less criminal ways-- a traggic accident, like a slip/fall or hitting head on something sharp, etc. Or, horribly worse, a self inflicted wound. There has been no talk of anything criminal of course.... my feeling is it may have been a medical event (as mentioned)- Again, as mentioned, I just feel so bad for the family. I've not read anything about natural causes, or anything else for that matter, in any of the aruba papers online I check. If someone has a link stating that, please post it.
Seriously?
Nobody's asking for every sordid little detail. Read your newspaper at home. Any death report is going to state whether the death was accidental/natural/suspicious. And any death outside a medical facility is going to be investigated by law enforcement. All I'm saying is that the owners have a right to know that amount of information.
Let's not make LESS out of this than need be. If it were in fact suspicious, we would be sorry if we didn't know that.
I found a link. The article is in Papiamento, and my Papiamento stinx, but it seems to say the person died of natural causes. If anyone could translate better than that, it would be helpful.

Since we all have vested interest in LBRQ,then the details (to a degree) ARE our business.
