NEW YORK — The families of American tourists who died of carbon monoxide poisoning while staying in an Airbnb in Mexico are warning those who plan to travel during the busy holiday season of the potential dangers that could arise while vacationing abroad.
The victims -- Jordan Marshall and Courtez Hall, both schoolteachers from New Orleans, and Kandace Florence, a business owner in Virginia Beach, Virginia -- were found dead in a Mexico City apartment they booked on Airbnb in October, according to the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City.
Now, the mothers of the victims are speaking out about losing their children in what their lawyers described as a preventable tragedy. Ceola Hall, Courtez Hall's mother, said she does not want any parent to go through what she went through. "She had a prophecy: 'I'm going to change the world. I'm going to show people how to keep going in spite of controversy,'" Freida Florence said.
"Nobody travels around with a smoke detector in one hand, a carbon monoxide detector in the other," he said."We just trust companies to do the right thing, and it didn't happen."
