Hotel is one of the Unbound Collection by Hyatt.
Police and paramedics arrived at the Hotel Rancho Pescadero in El Pescadero around 9 p.m. local time Tuesday and found a man and a woman with no vital signs, police said.

The victims have been identified as John Heathco, 41, and Abby Lutz, 28, according to the Baja California Sur Attorney General's office. Heathco and Lutz were both from Newport Beach, California, the AG's office said.

Their cause of death was "intoxication by substance to be determined," the AG's office said in a statement Wednesday.

The two had been dead for about 10 or 11 hours when they were found, the attorney general's office said. There were no signs of violence on their bodies, according to the AG's office.

Their cause of death was listed as “intoxication by substance to be determined,” the AG’s office told ABC News. In a *** post, a friend of Lutz says the couple may have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning.

“Abby and her boyfriend thought they had food poisoning and went to the hospital to get treatment. We were told they were feeling much better a few days later,” Gabrielle Slate, who organized the fundraiser, posted. “We received a phone call saying that they had passed away peacefully in their hotel room in their sleep. We have been told it was due to improper venting of the resort.”

According to his LinkedIn profile, Heathco founded LES Labs, a nutritional supplement company based in Newport Beach.

Abby Lutz, who was from Utah, was working as a nanny.
 
There's more detail here.

The paramedics even developed symptoms, took themselves to a hospital for treatment.
Heathco was found in the shower, water still running.
Very alarming....this is a posh hotel. And there have been other similar cases.

Very sad....

 

...In October, three U.S. citizens found dead at a rented apartment in Mexico City were apparently victims of gas inhalation.

In 2018, a gas leak in a water heater killed an American couple and their two children in the resort town of Tulum, south of Playa del Carmen.

In 2010, an expolsion traced to an improperly installed gas line at a hotel in Playa del Carmen killed five Canadian tourists and two Mexicans.

Fernando Valencia Sotelo and Grisel Valencia Sotelo, who tried to revive Abby Lutz, 28, and John Heathco, 41, who died by "intoxication by an undetermined substance" at Rancho Pescadero near Cabo San Lucas, themselves "were overcome" as they attended to the couple.

The pair, who volunteer for the nonprofit Firefighters and Paramedics of Pescadero, were subsequently taken to a hospital in the state of La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur, and later transferred to a private hospital.
