A family of four from Iowa have been found dead inside their rented holiday home in Mexico, authorities say.
The Sharp family had been expected to attend a basketball game in Illinois on Wednesday. A missing person report was filed after they did not show up.
The incident took place in the popular resort of Tulum, according to the Mexico Tourism Board.
Mexican and US police say there was no sign of traumatic injury and no foul play is suspected at this time.

There has been a clear case of ignoring ancient accomplishments, discovered civilizations of darker complected peoples, as many of us realize.
The invaders ALWAYS rewrite history, sadly, while destroying the value of the original inhabitants.

The another thread says authorities are suspecting food poisoning or a gas leak.

Considering what happened in London very recently, when the two ex-patriot Russians died in the park, it sounds possible, doesn't it?
