Belize Probes Deaths of Three American Women in Hotel Room
Three American women, Wafae El Arar (26), Imane Mallah (24), and Kaoutar Naqqad (23), were found dead in a Belize hotel room on Saturday. Belizean authorities, along with the U.S. Embassy and forensic services, are investigating the cause of death, which remains undetermined. While vomit and gummies (potentially containing cannabis) were found in the room, authorities are exploring all possibilities, including toxicology testing for substances and carbon monoxide poisoning, though foul play is currently considered unlikely. The investigation is ongoing, with concerns raised regarding transparency.
