Introduction

A Nova Scotia man, now facing charges for violently assaulting an Edmonton teen at a Dominican Republic resort, has a troubling history of violence. The suspect, Kyle Stephen Denny, 34, has previously been convicted of assault for a brutal incident at a party where he attacked an individual who was already in a conflict.

Victim's Condition

Chase Delorme-Rowan, the victim in this most recent attack, was injured while vacationing with his family on January 14. His mother, Cindy Rowan, has been by his side as he fights for his life in a local hospital. Reports indicate that Chase suffered a critical head injury during the attack and is currently in an induced coma.

Cindy Rowan's Concerns

Cindy expressed her distress not only over her son's condition but also over the judicial handling of the case. Denny has been charged with assault causing bodily harm, but Cindy hoped for more serious charges, such as attempted murder. Following his arrest, Denny was released on bail set at $16,000, and while he is not allowed to leave the country, his release has raised concerns about the safety of the Rowan family.

Chase's Severe Injuries

Tragically, Chase's injury was severe enough that he has required ventilatory support and has been found unresponsive at times. Cindy described her anguish upon finding her son having seizures at the resort bar after receiving a frantic call from his brothers. Witnesses say that despite the presence of security personnel, Denny was not restrained as he fled the scene.

Community Support

In a bid to support her son through this ordeal, Cindy established a GoFundMe page that has raised over $27,000. She detailed how a former victim of Denny reached out with a donation, sharing their own painful experience of being attacked by him several years prior in Nova Scotia.

Emotional Toll on Family

The emotional toll on Cindy is immense; she fears that her son may never fully recover from this tragedy. “Every day I see him, I don’t know what to think,” she shared. “I just don’t know if he will ever be the same.”

Conclusion

As the situation develops, concerns about safety and justice loom large for the Rowan family, who merely sought a peaceful vacation in the Dominican Republic. This chilling episode has ignited discussions around violence and accountability, both within the tourism industry and the broader community.

Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story, as we continue to follow the legal proceedings and the recovery of Chase Delorme-Rowan, who is fighting for his life and dignity after what should have been a fun family getaway.
