A Texas couple vacationing in Mexico City were found dead in their apartment rental on Tuesday, Mexican police say.
Mexico City Office of Citizen Safety officers responded to a report of an unconscious person in an apartment on Emilio Dondé and Tres Guerra streets in the Centro neighborhood in the municipality of Cuauhtémoc, authorities said Tuesday.
Officers interviewed a 61-year-old woman who said a couple, who had “virtual credentials” saying they were from Texas, had rented one of the apartments in the building, police said.
She knocked on their door multiple times to notify them of a repair for a leak in the water meter, but received no response. Eventually she decided to let herself into the apartment and upon entering, she found them unconscious and called police.
Paramedics responded and identified the couple as a 35-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman.
The cause of their death is not yet known.
A Public Ministry officer, part of the Mexican Attorney General’s Office, is investigating their deaths.
