A 42-year-old man from Truro, N.S, has died at a resort in the Dominican Republic, his family has confirmed to Global News

Mark Winchester died after suffering a head injury early Wednesday morning at a resort just outside Puerto Plata, according to his brother Donnie.

“It all seems surreal to me,” Donnie said in a phone interview Wednesday. “He was happy-go-lucky, fun-loving, enjoyed life. Nothing really got him upset.

“He was always there for his friends and family.”

Mark was vacationing with his wife and another couple at the Iberostar resort in Costa Dorada. Donnie says they arrived at the all-inclusive resort late Monday night and planned to be there for a week.

Donnie says he was told that Mark was found at the bottom of a set of stairs just after 1 a.m. with an injury to the back of his head.

He was sent to hospital and was in surgery for over four hours, but was later pronounced dead.
