A shocking report by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel alleges that multiple all-inclusive resorts in Mexico may be serving tainted alcohol, leading to the death, or harm, of several guests.

In interviews with dozens of travelers and their family members, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel uncovered vulnerable vacation goers may have been given tainted alcohol or possibly drugged, in order mug, sexually assault or extort them. The accounts of travelers were backed up by hospital, ambulance and hotel records.

The alleged attacks took place in resorts near Cancun and Playa del Carmen.

In one case, a pair of teenage brothers woke up covered in mud with their wallets and cellphones missing and no recollection of what happened. Another woman said she was sexually assaulted and her husband woke up with a broken hand. In at least three cases, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said travelers suspected of being extorted by local hospitals who over charged them.

According to the report, some of the vacationers said they only had one or two drinks before they lost consciousness and woke up "with no recollection of how they got back to their rooms or to the hospital, or how they were injured."
