Pennsylvania Woman Died of a Heart Attack in Dominican Resort, Officials Say

Five days before a Maryland couple was found dead in their hotel room in the Dominican Republic, a Pennsylvania woman collapsed and died at the same resort shortly after she checked in, a family spokesman says. CNN

Officials said that an American tourist who died at a resort in the Dominican Republican succumbed to a heart attack, although her symptoms were similar to two other Americans who died there about a week later.

Miranda Schaup-Werner, 41, had a history of heart conditions, said husband Daniel Frank Werner said, according to a statement provided by the Grand Bahía Príncipe resort chain on Twitter.
