The Bayahibe Resort Fire: Accountability When a Dream Becomes a Tinderbox A vacation is supposed to be the one time your family feels completely safe, yet for nearly 1,700 guests at the Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach in Bayahibe, Dominican Republic, that safety was an illusion. When a massive fire broke out on June 19, 2026, it didn’t just cause a traumatic evacuation; it claimed the life of 46-year-old Italian tourist Francesca Valentino and left dozens of families from Portugal and across the globe with nothing but the clothes on their backs. At Attorney911, we know that these disasters are rarely “acts of God.” They are the results of human choices made in corporate boardrooms thousands of miles away.

Four of them walked into that resort. Two of them came home alive. April Gougeon and her eight-year-old son Oliver never made it back. A Dominican coroner confirmed they died from complications related to food poisoning they suffered at the resort buffet on their very first night. Their father Stephen and seven-year-old son Wesley survived, but they survived the kind of trauma that rearranges a family forever.

That family filed a $10 million lawsuit in Toronto Superior Court against Wyndham Hotel Canada II Inc., Air Transat Holidays A.T.
