   MEXICO CITY -- Three American tourists died from carbon monoxide   
   poisoning while staying at an Airbnb rental in Mexico City last   
   month, officials said.   
      
   The three were staying at a rental in a residential complex in   
   the La Rosita neighborhood when they were found dead on Oct. 30,   
   according to the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City, which   
   investigated the deaths.   
      
   The victims were identified by relatives as Kandace Florence and   
   Jordan Marshall -- both originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia   
   -- and Courtez Hall, who was a schoolteacher in New Orleans.   
      
   The three friends were in town for Day of the Dead festivities   
   when Florence called her boyfriend and said she wasn't feeling   
   well, Florence's parents told "Good Morning America."   
      
   "She said, 'I was vomiting and dizzy and my legs are wobbly,"   
   her mother, Freida Florence, said.   
      
   Marshall's sister, Jasmine Marshall, told "Good Morning America"   
   that she received a message from Florence's boyfriend on   
   Instagram that mentioned he wasn't able to reach Florence for   
   the rest of the day after that call.   
      
   "So that worried him," she said. "So he contacted the Airbnb   
   host to do a welfare check and they were all found unresponsive."   
      
   Security guards at the complex detected an intense gas smell in   
   the apartment and poisoning by gas inhalation was initially   
   suspected, the attorney general's office said in a statement   
   this week. Blood tests determined that the three Americans --   
   two men and a woman -- died of carbon monoxide poisoning, the   
   office said.   
      
   Investigators discovered a failure in the apartment's gas   
   boiler, which released a gas smell as well as carbon monoxide, a   
   colorless and odorless gas, a spokesperson for the attorney   
   general's office told ABC News.   
      
   One of the victims was found dead in the bathroom and is   
   believed to have been attempting to take a shower, which could   
   have activated the boiler, the spokesperson said.   
      
   An Airbnb spokesperson confirmed the three Americans were   
   staying at a space listed on its platform.   
      
   "This is a terrible tragedy and our thoughts are with the   
   families and loved ones as they face this heavy loss," an Airbnb   
   spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News. "Our priority now   
   is to provide support to those affected while the authorities   
   investigate what happened and we are available to cooperate with   
   the investigation in any way we can."   
      
   The U.S. Embassy in Mexico said it was "closely monitoring" the   
   investigation into the deaths of three U.S. citizens in the   
   country.   
      
   "We stand ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance,"   
   it said in a statement earlier this week. "Out of respect for   
   the privacy of the families, we have nothing further to add at   
   this time."   
      
   The three deaths come after another American died from carbon   
   monoxide poisoning while staying in a vacation rental in Mexico   
   City late last month, the victim's family told ABC San Diego   
   station KGTV. The woman's two siblings were also hospitalized   
   due to carbon monoxide poisoning, their family told the station.   
      
   Three American tourists who were found dead at a Bahamas resort   
   in May also died of carbon monoxide poisoning, officials said.   
      
   The victims' families are calling for more regulation around   
   requiring functioning carbon monoxide detectors in rental   
   properties.   
      
   "We will fight to make sure that mandates are implemented so no   
   other family has to deal with this type of brokenness and   
   heartache," Marshall's mother, Jennifer Marshall, told "Good   
   Morning America."
