Police are investigating after three American tourists were found dead at a Sandals resort in the Bahamas.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force confirmed that detectives were involved after the deaths of two men and a woman on Friday morning local time on the island of Exuma.
The force said police found the three deceased victims in two villas at the resort.
“No signs of trauma” were found, the police said, but the two bodies found in the second villa showed “signs of convulsion.”
The force said: “Our initial investigations revealed that the couple found in the second villa complained of illness the previous evening.
“They attended the local medical facility and on completion of receiving treatment, they returned to their lodging.”
The cause of the deaths has yet to be established and the coroner has been informed.
Sandals Resorts International said in a statement: “Nothing is more important to Sandals Resorts than the safety of our guests.
“It is with deep sadness that we can confirm the passing of three guests at Emerald Bay Resort on May 6, 2022.
“A health emergency was initially reported and following our protocols we immediately alerted emergency medical professionals and relevant local authorities to provide support and investigate the situation.
“We are actively working to support both the investigation as well as the guests’ families in every way possible during this difficult time.
“Out of respect for the privacy of our guests, we cannot disclose further information at this time.”
