Cause of death revealed after sisters found dead in mysterious circumstances following drinking session
Annie Korkki, 37, and Robin Korkki, 42, were found unresponsive on the same bed at their luxury villa in the Seychelles
Two sisters found dead at their luxury villa in the Seychelles after an all-day drinking session died from excess fluid in their lungs, it has emerged.
Annie Korkki, 37, who works for JP Morgan Chase in Denver, and Robin Korkki, 42, a trader from Chicago, died last Thursday.
Staff at the the Maia Luxury Resort and Spa called police after the pair, described as "best friends", failed to surface from their rooms.
Officers found them unresponsive and they were declared dead at the scene.
Post mortem examinations conducted on Wednesday determined the women died from acute pulmonary edema, or having fluid in their lungs.
Annie also suffered a cerebral edema, or fluid in the brain, according to a police report obtained by Minnesota television station KARE.
Neither sister had visible signs of injuries, the report added.
The autopsies were conducted by a forensic pathologist in the neighbouring Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, the Denver Post reported.
