Two foreigners, an English woman and a South African man, were discovered dead in separate rooms of a tourist villa in Hoi An Town, central Quang Nam Province.

Police on Monday announced the victims to be Ottson Greta Marie, 33, from England, and Els Arno Quinton, 36, from South Africa. Their bodies were found on Dec. 26 by villa staff and police officers.

Marie’s body was discovered on her bed in room 101 on the first floor, while Quinton was found in the same position in room 201. Both had been long-term residents at the villa since July 4.

At the scene, investigators noted the presence of several used alcohol bottles. There were no signs of a break-in, and both victims' phones were found undisturbed. A forensic examination showed no evidence of physical trauma or violence.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of death.
