Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a foreign national along the Boiling Lake trail in Dominica on Thursday.
Emergency officials responded to reports of a male foreign national who had fallen on the trail, a popular yet challenging hike in Dominica known for its steep, narrow paths, rugged terrain, and occasional slippery sections.
The man, identified as 67-year-old David Stein, an American citizen, had set out for the Boiling Lake with his wife, Robin Eisman, at around 7:45am. on Thursday.
The couple was accompanied by tour guides.
Reports are that while en route to the Boiling Lake around 11am David slipped off a narrow section of the trail, falling approximately 30 feet into a ditch where he sustained head injuries.
Despite the efforts of several tour guides and emergency responders, he succumbed to his injuries.
