Several other American travelers have died recently at the Dominican Republic's Bahia Principe resort, allegedly after consuming beverages from the hotel minibar. The FBI is looking into whether those beverages were somehow tainted.
So far, there is no indication that Joseph Allen drank from his minibar at Terra Linda, but an investigation continues.
