The American couple who died in their Mexico hotel room were killed in their sleep by carbon monoxide poisoning, according to their families. Now they can be pictured for the first time. Abby Lutz, 28, and John Heathco, 40, were found unresponsive in their hotel room at the five-star, $780-a-night Hotel Rancho Pescadero near Cabo San Lucas on Tuesday.
Abby worked as a nanny while John ran a health supplements website. According to Abby’s family from her, who are now raising money to bring her home from her, they died as the result of carbon monoxide poisoning. While on a beautiful trip in Mexico, Abby and her boyfriend de ella thought they had food poisoning and went to the hospital to get treatment.
‘We were told they were feeling much better a few days later. We received a phone call saying that they had passed away peacefully in their hotel room in their sleep. ‘We have been told it was due to improper venting of the resort and could be Carbon monoxide poisoning,’ a GoFundMe page set up by the family says.
This case joins other fatal cases that have occurred in Baja, Mexico. There have been several other instances of tourists dying in hotel rooms due to carbon monoxide poisoning. In January, the family of an American tourist found dead in Mexico said that they believe he “was the victim of a brutal crime.”
California resident and Orange County public defender Elliot Blair died on Jan. 14 at Las Rocas Resort and Spa, located on the shores of Rosarito Beach, just south of Tijuana, along the western coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. While investigators initially believed that Blair died from a fall, there is a specific injury on his forehead “that would not have been caused by a fall,” a local law enforcement official told the media.
A 79-year-old American man who transported clothes, food and toys into Mexico to donate to the poor was beaten to death during a delivery trip in Tijuana, family members and authorities said.
More recently, in April, Rudy Lazo’s killing during an apparent robbery in mid-April happened a couple of months after the US state department warned Americans to avoid Mexico, citing elevated kidnapping and homicide risks in areas including Baja California, the state Tijuana is in .
In November, three other tourists died while staying in a rented apartment in Mexico City. Their cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning. While Hyatt has not yet responded to the claim regarding the ventilation and how it could have caused their deaths, the hotel’s general manager said they were ‘heartbroken’.
Last week, the mayor of Tijuana announced that she was moving to a military installation to live due to threats from criminal groups, which reveals the danger of that state.
