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.
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.
Their cause of death was "intoxication by substance to be determined," the AG's office said in a statement Wednesday. The family of Lutz said in a statement Thursday, "We are shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of our beloved Abby. Abby had an adventurous spirit and a wonderfully kind heart. She loved to travel, see new places, and share her zeal for life with those around her. We ask for your thoughts and prayers for our family during this very difficult time."
