Officials are investigating the death of another U.S. citizen in the Dominican Republic.

Joseph Allen, 55, of Avenel, New Jersey, was found dead in a Dominican Republic hotel room on June 13, according to his family members. Officials have not yet revealed a cause of death.

"My brother was a hard worker," Allen's brother, Jason Allen, said. "He taught me a lot about sacrifice. My brother taught me how to drive. He taught me what a blind spot was. He taught me so many things about being a man. He was selfless."
