No signs of injuries were found on the bodies, police told CNN earlier, and incumbent Bahamas Prime Minister Chester Cooper had said there was no suspicion of an aggressive game. Police will not comment beyond the cause of death for the three US citizens in the latest news bulletin. The Americans – Michael Phillips, 68, and his wife, Robbie Phillips, 65, of Tennessee, and Vincent Paul Chiarella, 64, of Florida – died in an afternoon. Chiarella’s wife, Donis, 65, was airlifted to the capital, Nassau, for further treatment before being flown to Florida. The two couples had reported feeling ill the night before and were visited by medical staff, Bahamas Police Commissioner Paul Rolle said in May, and had eaten at different locations. Staff discovered the couples in separate villas the next morning and alerted police. Sandals Resorts said in a statement to CNN at the time, “Nothing is more important to Sandals Resorts than the safety of our guests” and expressed “deep sorrow” confirming the deaths.
