A group of American friends found dead inside an Airbnb in Mexico City last month likely died from carbon monoxide poisoning, according to local authorities.
Kandace Florence, 28, Jordan Marshall, 28, and Courtez Hall, 33, traveled together to Mexico in late October. They planned the trip to celebrate Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Authorities discovered their bodies inside their Airbnb apartment rental during a welfare check on Oct. 30, just days before the holiday festivities were set to begin.
According to an autopsy report cited by Bloomberg, the friends likely died from inhaling carbon monoxide. Security guards working at the apartment complex, called La Rosita, later told authorities that there was a strong smell of gas coming from the residence where the group was found.
