The death of 23-year-old Guyanese-American Dinari McAlmont, who was found dead near the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in The Bahamas earlier this year, has sparked widespread calls for a thorough and impartial investigation. McAlmont’s family, along with the Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID), a New York-based advocacy group, have accused Atlantis security staff and the Royal Bahamas Police Force of colluding to potentially cover up a homicide. Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis has been urged to intervene and ensure a transparent inquiry into the incident. McAlmont, a resident of Bowie, Maryland, arrived in Nassau on April 4, 2025, with his parents for a family vacation. Less than 24 hours later, he was found dead on a beach, with officials attributing the cause of death to drowning. However, his family disputes this conclusion, citing inconsistencies in the investigation and evidence suggesting foul play. Surveillance footage reportedly shows McAlmont being assaulted by the chief of security at the resort, and his body bore bruises and marks consistent with defensive wounds. Autopsy and toxicology reports revealed ethanol, methanol, and marijuana compounds in his system, along with significant injuries. The family has appealed to U.S. officials, including Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and Maryland Governor Wes Moore, for support. CGID President Rickford Burke warned that the case, if unresolved, could severely damage The Bahamas’ reputation as a safe tourist destination. The organization has called for an independent investigation to determine whether McAlmont’s death was accidental or a homicide, emphasizing the need for justice and accountability.
