William Gareau fell to his death at a resort in Punta Cana, and the boy's parents say local authorities aren't cooperating.
The young man, his girlfriend and some of her relatives were vacationing in the Bahia Principe Grand Luxury Ambar all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana, and on Jan. 15, his parents received a panicked call from his girlfriend.
"We got the call that no parents ever want to receive at two o clock at night," said William's mother Sylvie Marcotte.
The couple was told that their son fell off the third-floor balcony and was critically injured. His mother jumped on the next flight to Santo Domingo, but it was too late.
"I wanted to see him," she said. "I wanted to touch him, see him, and maybe talk to him."
