A fundraiser for a Canadian tourist who died in the Dominican Republic has raised double its goal. Authorities state that the Canadian tourist had been walking on the beach at 2 a.m. local time on June 20. After receiving a call about a missing person, the Dominican Republic civil defence agency and first responders rushed to the scene. Global Affairs Canada told us on Wednesday that it is "aware of the death of a Canadian citizen in the Dominican Republic." According to the fundraiser, the Canadian tourist "died suddenly in a drowning accident" while vacationing in the Dominican Republic.
