Authorities believe that one of the men died from swallowing pills and consuming liquor while the cause of death of the other is yet unknown.

A woman identified the bodies and told police that they men were here on business but did not specify as to what.

The local chief of police said that the men had been in the hotel for the past week, but it had been days that only one of the men had been seen coming and going and had asked that his room not be cleaned.

Cruz Roja (Red Cross) workers confirmed that one of the men had died before the other due to the decomposition of the body.
