Hotel where 3 Revere women were found dead is temporarily closed
Boston 25 News has learned the hotel in Belize, where three women from revere were found dead last month, is temporarily closed.
Management at the Royal Kahal Beach Resort in San Pedro said it closed on March 7 and they hope to reopen soon.
The hotel would not specify why the hotel closed and would only tell Boston 25 that there was some sort of issue.
In February, three women, described as lifelong friends were found dead in their hotel room at the resort.
The families of Kaoutar Naqqad, 23, Wafae El-Arar, 26, and Imane Mallah, 26, have urged authorities in Belize and the United States to do an investigation to find the truth about what happened.
Belize authorities said there was no sign of foul play and there has also been speculation they may have suffered overdoses, with a news outlet in Belize reporting that gummies and alcohol were found in the room.
The Massachusetts Medical Examiner is conducting autopsies here and we are awaiting results.
Revere Mayor Patrick Keefe warned against a rush to judgment as he pushed for more transparency in the investigation.
The women were young professionals in the medical field and part of a tight-knit community, officials said.
The Department of State issued a Level 2 travel advisory for Belize in December 2024 due to an increased risk for crime.
GoFundMe pages have been set up on behalf of each of the three families linked to the tragedy.

BU responds to sexual harassment allegations made by Alex Cooper
Days after the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast host, Alex Cooper, alleged she was sexually harassed by her soccer coach while at Boston University, the school has issued a response. The University issued the following statement: Boston University has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment. We have a robust system of resources, support, and staff dedicated to student wellbeing and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office. We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all. This comes following the first episode of Cooper's Hulu Documentary, 'Call Her Alex', where she said that ex-coach Nancy Feldman had become fixated on her and engaged in uncomfortable, and sometimes sexual, conversations both in private and in front of teammates. Cooper said that she went to the school with her claims and was listened to, but was brushed off. This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.

Support Onalaska's Hazel & Seth's recovery after a vicious dog attack
ONALASKA, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – A peaceful walk turned into a nightmare for Hazel and her family—and now, they need your help. Haley Radtke has organized a fundraiser on behalf of Hazel, a sweet and gentle three-year-old dog who was brutally attacked by two unleashed pit bulls. While out on a routine walk with one of her owners, the pit bulls suddenly charged and began mauling Hazel. The unprovoked attack left Hazel with a severe bite to her back leg before both dogs tore into her stomach. She was rushed to the animal hospital, where she underwent a critical three-hour emergency surgery. Hazel suffered extensive internal and external injuries, including multiple torn muscles, a surgical drain, and over 50 stitches. Her recovery will be long, painful, and expensive. Hazel is more than just a dog—she's family. Though shy at first, it only takes a couple sniffs and a treat before she's your biggest fan. Her goofy tail wags like a little fan, and if she really likes you, she might nibble gently on your nose or ear as her way of saying, 'I love you.' That same gentle spirit makes this attack all the more heartbreaking. But Hazel wasn't the only one injured that day. During the attack, her devoted owner, Seth, put himself in harm's way to protect her. He dropped to the ground, shielding Hazel with his body. In doing so, he was bitten multiple times in the face, including deep punctures to his nose and mouth. Seth was taken by ambulance to the emergency room, where he received 25 stitches. Despite his injuries and the chaos, Seth refused to leave Hazel's side—his courage and love for her likely saved her life. It ultimately took three grown men to pry one of the pit bulls off Hazel. Now, both Hazel and Seth are recovering from physical wounds and emotional trauma. Their family is asking for support from the community to help cover the mounting medical bills for both emergency surgeries, hospital stays, and ongoing care. As of now, over $7,000 has already been raised, and every contribution makes a difference. The road ahead will be long, but with help, Hazel and Seth won't have to walk it alone. To donate or learn more, visit the official GoFundMe page organized by Haley Radtke. Let's rally together to support this brave duo and help them heal. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
