Police suspect the deaths of two men in a North Carolina hotel room was likely down to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Jacob Galloway, 28, and James Landreth, 39 were found dead by a third guest staying in the room at the Best Western hotel in Asheville.
They were staying at the hotel earlier this month as part of a rugby team in town for a tournament.
According to an unsealed warrant, Asheville fire chief Shane Mackey suspects a utility room behind the room was the source of carbon monoxide.
It contained two water heaters and two air heaters and Mackey said an exhaust pipe was not properly ventilated to outside the room.
He suspected there may have been seepage into the guestroom.
Police said there were no signs of foul play or apparent drug use although they are waiting on the results of toxicology tests.
The hotel has made no official comment yet.
A couple died of carbon monoxide poisoning at a Best Western hotel in nearby Boone back in 2013, and just weeks later an 11-year-old boy staying in the same room was also overcome by toxic fumes and died.
