Bahamas police are investigating the incident where two men and one woman, both US citizens, were found unresponsive at the Sandals Emerald Bay resort on the Bahamas’ Great Exuma island on May 6.

Another woman was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Cause of cases Tourists die The aforementioned issues have not been identified, but a customer staying at the hotel here suspects that an air-conditioner malfunction caused a “poisonous coolant leak”.

Some guests were treated at a clinic for nausea and vomiting the day before their deaths, said Bahamas Health Minister Michael Darville.

One of the victims, Vincent Chiarella, from Birmingham, Alabama, USA, went to the Sandals Emerald Bay resort to celebrate his wedding anniversary with his wife Donnis.

Their son Austin told ABC News he was contacted by the US Embassy and he was able to speak to his mother, who was airlifted to a hospital in Florida: “My mother woke up and my father was lying there on the floor, and she couldn’t move. Her legs and arms were swollen and she couldn’t move. She was screaming for someone to come into the room.”

An announcement was posted on the Facebook page of Chris Coucheron-Aamot, a guest at the Sandals resort, on May 7. Accordingly, the area where the incident happened has been cordoned off, possibly due to a malfunction of the air conditioner.

Bahamas Prime Minister Chester Cooper said the cause of death “has not yet been established”, but he has been advised that “there should be no suspicion of vandalism”.

The Royal Bahamas Police said there were “no signs of trauma” and all were declared dead by local doctors.

Initial investigation showed that the man and woman found together, who were showing signs of convulsions, had complained of illness the night before, police added.

Police are awaiting the results of the autopsy report to determine the exact cause of death.
