Last month, three Americans were found dead in their Airbnb while on vacation in Mexico City. According to autopsy results, the three died from an apparent gas leak.
Courtez Hall, 33, Kadance Florence, 28, and Jordan Marshall, 28, were visiting the capital of Mexico in October, celebrating Dia de los Muertos. On Oct. 30, Florence called her boyfriend in the U.S., telling him she wasn’t feeling well.
The call suddenly disconnected, and when he couldn't get ahold of her, he contacted the local police. The police showed up at the tourists’ Airbnb to find all three of them deceased, the Mexico City Police Department shared on Tuesday.
Post-mortem examinations suggest that the three died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Police said they were also notified by building security after an “intense smell of gas” was detected in the apartment, Bloomberg reported.
An air Arbnb spokesperson confirmed in a statement to ABC News that the three were staying at one of its spaces.
"This is a terrible tragedy and our thoughts are with the families and loved ones as they face this heavy loss," the spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News. "Our priority now is to provide support to those affected while the authorities investigate what happened and we are available to cooperate with the investigation in any way we can."
The hometowns of the three victims have not been released.
The investigation into their deaths is currently being handled by Mexican authorities, though the U.S. State Department has confirmed their deaths.
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico is also "closely monitoring" the investigation being handled by Mexican authorities.
"We stand ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance," the embassy said in a statement. "Out of respect for the privacy of the families, we have nothing further to add at this time."
