U.S. woman dies mysteriously in Thailand

(CNN) — The family of a Seattle woman is searching for answers after her mysterious death at a resort hotel in Thailand.

Jill St. Onge, 27, died May 2 at a hotel on Thailand’s Phi Phi island. She became very ill and died before her fiance could get her to a hospital, said CNN television affiliate KOMO.

St. Onge’s family members have said that they have had a hard time getting answers about her death.

“We just don’t know what happened to her,” brother Robert St. Onge said on a CNN iReport.

Adding to the mystery is another tourist, a 22-year-old Norwegian woman, who died at the same resort the same weekend, according to the U.S. Embassy in Thailand.

Norwegian media reported that the woman could have been a victim of food poisoning. Papers in Thailand have questioned whether both women were poisoned.

The U.S. Embassy in Thailand has been working with the St. Onge family daily, said Michael Turner, an embassy spokesman.

“We are working with her family. We are in contact with police who are investigating this,” Turner said. “The police know we are concerned about this. But as with any investigation, it could take some time.”

The results of an autopsy performed overseas are expected in several months, KOMO reported. St. Onge family’s has requested blood and tissue samples for an independent analysis.
