Couple dies in Damajagua Falls
An American couple, Vero Beach, Florida dentist David Rosenberg and
wife Jean, died when on vacation in Puerto Plata. They drowned at the Damajagua falls in Imbert, Puerto Plata. They had been
vacationing in Cabarete. Recent intense rains caused a rush of the current, according to a Police report. Measures in place
to avoid this situation at the popular adventure site failed. The couple is survived by their two sons, Eddie and Stephen,
who had accompanied their parents on the Damajagua tour, but were not able to avoid the tragedy.
