Hotel Rancho Pescadero
Two Americans were found dead in a luxury hotel in a seaside community next to Cabo San Lucas on Mexico’s Baja California peninsula on Tuesday.
The deceased Americans were identified as John Heathco, 41, and Abby Lutz, 28 of Newport Beach, California.
The story about the couple’s death keeps changing.
Local Mexican officials first claimed the couple’s cause of death was ‘inhalation of gas.’
“The family said they were told the deaths were due to “improper venting of the resort” and could be carbon monoxide poisoning.” The Daily Beast reported.
However, according to the Baja California Sur Attorney General’s office, the couple’s cause of death was “intoxication by substance to be determined.”
Lutz, a self-described health nut and seasoned traveler, worked as a nanny in Newport Beach, California.
