Cruise passengers shocked after Bahamas cruise was re-routed to Boston, Canada

Cruise passengers Lakeya Allen and Val Montgomery joined ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss why their cruise was re-routed and how they are handling the unexpected detour. 

Bahamas authorities have released autopsy report findings for an American man who briefly disappeared during a vacation to Paradise Island with his parents and was found dead on a beach the next morning.

Authorities found 23-year-old Dinari McAlmont, of Maryland, dead on Paradise Island in Nassau on April 6, just 12 hours after he landed on the island with his parents.

“A post-mortem examination was performed, and the pathologist’s findings revealed that the deceased died as a result of drowning,” the Royal Bahamas Police Force said in a Wednesday news conference, adding that police are still awaiting the results of a toxicology exam.

“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.

The McAlmont family was staying at a resort called The Reef at Atlantis on Paradise Island, Bahamas.

Dinari apparently left his parents during dinner to retrieve a jacket, when he disappeared, and his parents filed a missing person report when they could not track him using cellphone location data.
