A young couple who died on a dream vacation in Fiji may have been poisoned, authorities said, after infectious disease was ruled out as the cause.
David Paul, 37, and his wife, Michelle Paul, 35, died two days apart after checking into their hotel May 22 on Denarau Island.
The
Fort Worth couple contacted relatives, saying that they'd begun feeling unwell two days into their holiday.
"We are both going to doctor now," Michelle texted her parents. "We have been throwing up for 8 hours. Dave has diarrhea. My hands are numb. We will text when we can."
They received anti-nausea medication and fluids, but their health became worse. Michelle died on May 27, and her husband died two days later.
