Canadian Couple Found Dead In Mexican Hotel, No Signs Of Violence

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Nov, 2015 12:04 PM
    PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Prosecutors in Mexico say a Canadian couple has been found dead at a hotel near the resort city of Playa de Carmen, south of Cancun.
     
    An official from the prosecutors' office in the Caribbean coast state of Quintana Roo said the bodies of the man and the woman were found in a whirlpool spa and showed no signs of violence.
     
    She said autopsies have indicated that the man died of a heart attack and the woman died of asphyxia by submersion.
     
    The official said the deaths on Monday appeared to be accidental and linked, suggesting the man's heart attack may have somehow caused the woman to drown.
     
    Officials did not release the victims' names or hometowns.
     
    Local media reports have said the couple, thought to be in their 60s, were in Mexico to attend their daughter's wedding.
