The family with their 10-year-old son had checked into the resort at 6 pm.
Once they came into the room, they decided to turn on the gas-fired water heater before taking a shower as they were feeling cold.
A while later, a friend of theirs knocked on their door to invite them for dinner to discover the trio to be unconscious.
