Tourists at luxury resort are now stranded after fire that killed reality TV star

"An enormous fire at a Dominican Republic resort that killed one Italian reality TV star has also left nearly 1,700 other tourists stranded, after the deadly blaze reduced their passports and other important documents to ashes.
The fire erupted on Friday at the Viva Dominicus Beach by Wyndham in Bayahibe, a $350-a-night resort popular with Western tourists, many of whom were evacuated.
Francesca Valentino, a 46-year-old Italian woman, was killed.
When the fire at Viva Dominicus Beach broke out, the resort was operating at 84 percent capacity." msn
