US Sisters Found in Seychelles Resort Died of Excess Fluid in Lungs

Although it doesn’t totally fit, it makes me wonder if they did ‘resort diving’ with bad training and supervision and wound up with immersion pulmonary edema combined with severe decompression sickness. Just a thought.

I think that's a very plausible theory at this point. Perhaps their illness a few hours later was misinterpreted by hotel staff as intoxication.

In any case, it's very sad. I know that a lot of folks enjoy these exotic locales, and some may call this a sexist comment, but it seems to me that many American women get themselves in a lot of trouble going to these s--thole countries. How 'bout vacationing in the good ol' U.S. of A, or at least the 1st world (Europe, Australia, NZ).

I’m an old runner and I had problems... over time training you can lower your salt, then suddenly while running my hand puffed up like ski gloves and I started falling asleep.... falling asleep while running

Robin Korkki worked as a commodities trader in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reported.”

Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the first things that has to be ruled out.

The sisters.

[DUMBGRUNT]

That would most likely be an air embolism.

They were very close

They looked healthy. Sad.

Wow...one thing for sure - they could travel anywhere in the world without paying ‘excess baggage’ fees.

If you hear hoofbeats outside the window, don’t think zebras, think horses. Common things are common.

Reading the lines, and between the lines: on vacation, intoxicated, had to be escorted back to room, both dead in hotel room, no trauma, no suspicions of foul play mentioned, both with pulmonary edema... It’s most likely drugs — most likely opioids — especially with the pulmonary edema. Alcohol just adds to it and makes it easier to die. Toxicology will tell all.

Too much formaldehyde left in the beer and wine from the “quick brewing process”?

There have been at least a dozen such deaths in the last 2 years in Seychelles. The local authorities are not enthused about this kind of publicity.

Suspected high grade heroin has been suggested in many of the deaths,

The coroner said he relied on the evidence of a renowned forensic pathologist, Dr Nathaniel Cary, and that “he could not exclude the possibility the fatal dose was administered by a third party”.
“There is a possibility a theft was a reason for his death,” he said.
