So both of them died at the same time of 'natural' causes?

Sounds 'legit' to me.

An American couple visiting the Dominican Republic found dead in their hotel room died of respiratory failure, the country's national police said.

A statement from the Dominican Republic National Police said that an autopsy concluded that the couple had respiratory failure and pulmonary edema, a condition caused by excess fluid in the lungs.

There is another couple that died in Fiji. I've seen guesses that they died due to the room being treated for bedbugs or possibly a nasty strain of flu.

That one of them could have died from Pulmonary Edema is completely believable; that BOTH died from that, on the same day, is not.

IMHO.

Default possible

Completely possible, they are many ways this can happen, carbon monoxide, reaction to a pesticide, overdose, ect, according to the press the man called the lobby about not feeling well. and was told that the clinic in the hotel will charge 300$ for the check up because his package did not include travel insurance, he declined the help.

the toxicology report is not ready yet, i think the man had a bad reaction to something, maybe pesticide, as the room was in the first floor, and gardens get showered with poison.

Funny thing is that region of DR is trying a new emergency service (very efficient i been told) that would have rendered help for free is they had dialed 911.

I agree. Something is not adding up. They were at the bar earlier I read in another article. Drinks could have been dosed with a tasteless but lethal poison. Fentanyl, or too high dose scopolamine. The latter is used to get victims under control to easily rob them.

It gets even more suspicious. Another woman died at the same resort right before this couple.

CO is my bet.
poor pool maintenance can do that.

"Jeffrey Williams died from carbon monoxide leaking from a swimming pool heating system.
His mother, Jeannie Williams, suffered serious injuries.

I'm struggling to think how a coroner could mistake CO poisoning for pulmonary edema.
