Mexico Resort Faces Negligence Claims After American Couple's Death.
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.'
