On Tuesday, two American individuals were discovered deceased in their hotel room at a luxurious resort in Mexico, and according to the family of one victim, carbon monoxide is believed to be the likely cause.

The tragic incident occurred at the Hotel Rancho Pescadero in El Pescadero, located in the state of Baja California Sur.

Local law enforcement informed ABC News that when paramedics arrived at approximately 9 p.m., the individuals showed no signs of life, the Daily Beast has reported.

The Baja California Sur Attorney General’s Office identified the deceased Americans as John Heathco, 41, and Abby Lutz, 28.

While Lutz was reported to be from Newport Beach, California, no information regarding Heathco’s place of residence was disclosed.

In an official statement released on Wednesday, the local attorney general’s office stated that both individuals had passed away due to “intoxication by a substance yet to be determined.”

Initial reports had previously suggested that gas inhalation was suspected in relation to the deaths.
