Earlier this week, we reported on the US lawsuit against Royal Kahal Beach Resort and Expedia for 100 million US dollars.
A post mortem and toxicology report confirmed the deaths of three American tourists was due to carbon monoxide poisoning, likely caused by a faulty water heater.
In an interview with WBZ Boston, Louis J. Muggeo, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs, said the basic premise of the case is that "it was a preventable death.". Here's a clip from that story:
Tom Scolaro, Attorney for the Families
"Three young Massachusetts women Wafae El-Arar, 26, Kaoutar Naqqad, 23, and Imane Mallah, 24, lost their lives at the Royal Kahal Resort in Belize due to carbon monoxide exposure while staying at a resort that actively marketed itself to American consumers. This was not an unavoidable accident that as we allege in the complaint it was the foreseeable result of decisions that put safety last and bottom line profits first."
