Tragic Discovery: 2 Americans Found Dead in Mexico Hotel Room.
Two American tourists were found dead in their hotel room in El Pescadero, Mexico due to suspected inhalation of gas. The cause of death is believed to be carbon monoxide or other gases produced by improperly vented or leaky water heaters and stoves. Proper gas line installations, vents, and monitoring devices are often lacking in Mexico, leading to several cases of gas poisoning deaths in the past.
