An American who briefly disappeared during a vacation at the Bahamas with his parents was found dead on a beach the next morning, according to his family.
They believe that his death is suspect after the authorities found that Dinari McAlland, 23, from Maryland, died on Paradise Island in Nassau on April 6, only 12 hours after landing on the Caribbean Island with his parents.
Michelle McCalmont, McCalmont’s mother, told Eyewitness News Bahamas that she had been “traumatized” after identifying the remains of her son, alleging that he had seemed to be beaten, Fox 5 DC reported for the first time.
