Workers at Hotel Rancho Pescadero in Mexico claim managers ignored signs of possible gas leaks and disabled carbon monoxide detectors because of complaints from guests. Abby Lutz, 28, and John Heathco, 40, were found dead in their hotel room last week, with preliminary reports suggesting the couple died due to inhalation of gas. The hotel, owned by Hyatt, disputed suggestions there may have been a gas leak. The State Attorney General's Office of Baja California Sur said the cause of death was 'intoxication by substance to be determined.'

The luxury hotel in Mexico where an American couple was found dead earlier this week ignored repeated signs of a possible gas leak — and had even disabled carbon monoxide detectors earlier this year, according to a report. Staff at the Hyatt-owned Rancho Pescadero reportedly knew and complained about gas leaks believed to be escaping from a system feeds outdoor fire pits in the months leading up to Abby Lutz and John Heathco’s death inside their hotel room. In the wake of the two tourists’ death, employees of the hotel have begun to protest about the unsafe working environment since their complaints about the gas leak have been unanswered. Despite the employees’ claims, a spokesperson for Hyatt told The Post in a statement Friday that neither gas nor carbon monoxide appears to be the blame for Lutz and Heathco’s deaths.

Current and former employees at a luxury hotel in Mexico where two Americans were found dead this week said managers of the resort ignored repeated signs of a possible gas leak and disabled carbon monoxide detectors to stop their alarms from disturbing guests. The bodies of John Heathco and Abby Lutz, both of California, were discovered Tuesday night inside their room at Rancho Pescadero, which reopened after extensive renovations about a year ago in the beach community of El Pescadero, an hour north of Cabo San Lucas. Autopsies suggest the two died of “intoxication by an undetermined substance,” prosecutors in Mexico’s Baja California Sur state told the Associated Press.
