American tourist found dead in hotel room

A female tourist from the United States was found dead inside a hotel room in Montego Bay, St James on Wednesday morning. 

She has been identified as 24-year-old Quintaria Roker, from West Palm Beach in Florida.

It is reported that Roker arrived in Jamaica on Tuesday, where she met with a male friend who she met on social media. 

They both booked a room on the 10th floor of the Montego Bay Club Hotel after partying for several hours on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

It is further reported that about 10:00 a.m., the male friend realised that she had not gotten up out of bed and went to make checks. He found her unresponsive and raised an alarm.

Roker was rushed to hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

The police say no foul play is suspected, but an investigation is ongoing.
