Makes a lot more sense - Tropical poisoning

From the New York Post:

Tourists at Sandals resort where 3 Americans died complained of ‘strong odor’ of insecticides
Tourists at the Sandals resort in the Bahamas where three Americans mysteriously died last week have been complaining about the intense smell of bug repellant, according to a new report.

Multiple guests at the Grand Exuma resort told NBC News about the “strong odor” of insecticides, which the Bahamian authorities are now investigating, according to the network.

While the reports remain inconclusive, it’s a strong new lead in the bizarre deaths given the potential lethality of the chemicals.

In 2016, the parent company of pest control company Terminix settled for $87 million with an American family poisoned by an insecticide while on a Caribbean vacation.

The father of the Delaware family was left paralyzed after the company was fumigating the property below their rental villa with the banned substance methyl bromide, according to CBS News.

They were originally saying that it was leaking refrigerant from the HVAC systems.  These either use a harmless Fluorocarbon or Ammonia which has such a pungent odor that people would be clawing their way out of the building well before any toxic level built up. Heads will roll.
