Cayo Guillermo, Cuba – A dream honeymoon turned into a nightmare last week as newlyweds from Canada were found dead under mysterious circumstances at Cuba’s famous Cayo Beach. The couple, identified as Jordan and Alyssa McKenna, both in their late 20s, had arrived at the resort just four days earlier to celebrate their marriage.
Authorities say the couple was discovered in their beachfront villa, with no visible signs of trauma or forced entry. Toxicology reports are pending, but early speculation includes possible poisoning, heat stroke, or exposure to toxic fumes — raising alarm among other tourists staying in the same complex.
Witnesses reported seeing the couple enjoying dinner at the resort’s restaurant hours before they were found unresponsive. “They looked happy, relaxed — just like any other honeymooners,” said one guest. “No one could have imagined what would happen.”
Rumors are swirling online about a potential gas leak or contaminated minibar, though Cuban officials have yet to confirm any theories. Travel forums have erupted with travelers questioning safety standards across Cayo resorts, especially after two other unexplained tourist deaths in the region earlier this year.
The resort issued a short statement offering condolences and stating that “guest safety remains a top priority.” But with a lack of transparent answers, grieving families — and would-be vacationers — are demanding more.
