Authorities in Antigua and Barbuda are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a United Nations delegate, found deceased in his hotel room at the Jolly Beach Resort. The discovery was made on Tuesday by a colleague, also part of the UN delegation tasked with organizing the forthcoming 4th Small Island Developing States Conference.
Antigua and Barbuda is gearing up to host the largest conference in its history, expecting over 5,000 delegates, including world leaders and government officials, from May 27 to 30 at the American University of Antigua. The event, which costs about US$7M to organize, aims to address the unique challenges faced by small island developing states.
The police have yet to determine the cause of death or if any foul play was involved, as investigations continue. The international community and conference attendees await further details, as the tragic incident unfolds amidst crucial preparations for the significant global gathering.
