Families of Maryland couple that died at Dominican Republic resort want independent autopsies in hopes of getting to the bottom of how they perished, attorney says.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now helping to probe the deaths of three Americans who perished under mysterious circumstances in a five-day span at neighboring resorts in the Dominican Republic, officials said Tuesday.
"We ask everyone to be patient while these investigations run their course," a statement from the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic reads. Autopsies performed in the Dominican Republic determined preliminary causes of death for both Holmes and Day were respiratory failure and pulmonary edema, or water in the lungs.
Day, Holmes and Schaupp-Werner were all described by their families as healthy before they traveled to the Dominican Republic. The bodies of Holmes and Day showed no signs of violence when they were discovered, police said. Several bottles of medicine used to treat high blood pressure were found in the couple's room, according to authorities. No other drugs were found.
