The TCI’s reputation as a safe and friendly destination is currently taking a beating in US media, as NBC New York has run a series of news stories regarding the ongoing Coroner’s Inquest into the death of Marie Kuhnla, a tourist from Long Island, New York, whose body was found in bushes near Club Med Resort in Providenciales in 2018.
Her death was subsequently ruled a homicide.
However, the Coroner’s Inquest means that the circumstances and conclusions around the death of Kuhnla is now being re-examined. According to NBC New York, the family of the deceased say that they believe that the police and Club Med are trying to coverup the murder of their loved one and that they find it strange that this Coroner’s Inquest has been called now in the midst of the family’s $10 million lawsuit against Club Med.
Local officials have not commented on this development in relation to this matter but RTC News has reached out to the Royal Turks & Caicos Islands Police Force and is awaiting a response..
