A young man from Maryland died while he was on vacation in the Bahamas with his family. Dinari McAlmont, 23, was found dead at a private beach resort just hours after arriving on the island. His mother, Michelle McAlmont, believes he was “beaten to death.”
Dinari was from Bowie, Maryland, and traveled to the Bahamas with his parents on April 4. They were staying at the Atlantis Paradise Island resort. Dinari was last seen having dinner with his family. He went out to get a jacket and explore the resort just before 9 pm, according to reports.
Officials at the resort claimed that Dinari spat on some staff members in a restaurant. After they couldn’t find him, Michelle filed a missing person report since Dinari’s phone wasn’t working. She disagreed with the resort’s story about Dinari.
Search teams found Dinari’s body on the beach on Paradise Island around 5:30 am on April 5. The police are investigating what happened. Michelle saw a photo of her son and said, “He was beaten; he was traumatized.” She described his face as damaged with foam on his teeth and sand in his hair. She believes he was attacked and is asking for justice for her son.
Dinari’s parents are now looking for a lawyer who specializes in international cases. “I expect a complete investigation,” Michelle said. The resort expressed sadness over the event and said they are cooperating with the police investigation.
The US Department of State had warned travelers about safety risks in the Bahamas as more crimes against tourists have been reported recently.
