Autopsies conducted on the bodies of Abby Lutz and John Heathco, the two Americans found dead in their luxury hotel in Mexico, have provided fresh insights into their tragic demise. Prosecutors in Baja California Sur state, Mexico, announced on Thursday that the cause of death for both individuals appears to be “intoxication by an undetermined substance.” Initial speculations of gas inhalation as the cause were dismissed. The autopsies did not reveal any signs of violence, leaving authorities with the task of determining the exact nature of the fatal intoxication.
Abby Lutz and John Heathco hailed from Newport Beach, California, as disclosed by state prosecutors. John Heathco was identified as the founder of LES Labs, a nutritional supplements company based in Covina, California. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, however, refrained from confirming the victims’ identities and hometowns, citing privacy concerns. The couple had already been deceased for approximately 11 or 12 hours when their lifeless bodies were discovered in their hotel room near Cabo San Lucas on Tuesday evening, according to investigators.
Relatives of Abby Lutz provided insight into the last communication they received from her. Lutz’s stepsister, Gabby Slate, recounted that days before their tragic deaths, the couple believed they had contracted food poisoning and sought medical treatment. The family’s final contact with Lutz occurred on Monday night when she sent a text message to her father, expressing her love and bidding him goodnight, as was her routine. The sudden loss of Abby Lutz and the circumstances surrounding her demise have devastated her family, particularly since she was scheduled to reunite with her father this week for Father’s Day.
