Couple die in shocking luxury spa suction phenomenon
Investigators are examining whether excessive hydro-massage suction trapped one victim and killed the other during a rescue attempt, police said.
- Patrick Tobin, 48, and his wife Thomasina Tobin, 51, were found dead in a spa at Villa Luna in Cullera, Spain last week; their children, aged 16 and 14, made the discovery.
- Investigators suspect suction entrapment from the spa's hydro-massage system caused the deaths. Police ruled out foul play after detecting no suspicious CCTV activity or signs of forced entry.
- The villa, marketed as a "ground floor oasis," costs about $4000 a week. Conflicting reports suggest either Tobin or Mrs Tobin entered the water first in a rescue attempt.
- Three relatives traveled from Ireland to Spain to care for the traumatized teenagers following the tragedy. Colina del Sol resort stated it awaits the official investigation's conclusion.
- Post-Mortem examinations found marks and scratches on both bodies, with blood detected in the water and a strong chemical smell noted at the scene. Authorities continue examining the spa's circulation system to confirm the cause.
