The Royal Bahamas Police Force told CNN no signs of trauma were found on any of the victims.

Reports indicate the three victims were found in two locations.

One man was found in one villa, and a man and a woman were found in a different villa, police said in a statement.

“The officers found a Caucasian male slumped against a wall in a bathroom, unresponsive,” the Royal Bahamas Police Force told CNN.

“The woman was also unresponsive. Both individuals showed signs of convulsion. The officers examined the bodies and found no signs of trauma,” the officials added.

The couple had complained they weren’t feeling well the night before they were found dead, the report says.

The two had reportedly been treated at a medical facility nearby. They then returned to the resort, the New York Post reports.

The three Americans died at the Exuma resort on May 6. A cause of death has not yet been revealed, and autopsy results are pending.


“I am advised that foul play is not suspected,” Cooper said.

“I have asked Minister of Health and Wellness Dr. Michael Darville to lead a delegation this evening to Exuma of Health and Wellness, Environment and Public Works officials.

“We offer our thoughts and prayers to the families affected.”

The investigation remains active.

Sandals did not immediately return The Sun’s request for comment.

The company did release a statement via a local news outlet confirming the deaths.

“We are actively working to support both the investigation and the guests’ families in every way possible during this difficult time,” the statement reads.

“Out of respect for the privacy of our guests, we cannot disclose further information at this time.”

The company runs luxury all-inclusive resorts for couples in several locations in the Caribbean.

Rooms at the Bahamas resort can cost thousands for a multi-night stay.
