Two American citizens were found dead Tuesday in a hotel room in Mexico, a U.S. State Department spokesperson said.
Slate told CNN she talked to her stepsister earlier this week during the couple's vacation and said Lutz and Heathco thought they had gotten food poisoning.
Authorities were called Tuesday night to the hotel in the Todos Santos district, where they discovered the couple's bodies. Henar Gil, the general manager of the Rancho Pescadero hotel, said they are "heartbroken" but are unaware of any threats to guests.
