Sandals agent shared haunting final post about Bahamas resort one day before being found dead along with husband
A TRAVEL agent and mom of three posted scenic beach photos outside the Bahamas resort where she and her husband were found dead just one day later.
Robbie, 65, and Michael Phillips, 68, were two of the three US tourists who mysteriously died in the Sandals Emerald Bay resort over the weekend, Paul Rolle, Bahamas Commissioner of Police, confirmed.
A fourth US woman was airlifted to a Florida hospital, where she's in "serious condition," Rolle said Monday afternoon.
The two couples were sleeping in separate-but-adjoining villas.
Officials are still working to pinpoint the official causes of deaths, but "foul play isn't suspected," according to Chester Cooper, the tourism minister of the Bahamas.
The working theory that's been widely circulated has been focused on issues with the air conditioning units that may have caused freon poisoning.
ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS DEATHS
Robbie's last social media post included seven beach photos showing sunny, blue skies smeared with a large, fluffy cloud, clear water washing up on the sand and Sandal-logo flags blowing in the breeze.
"If you want the most beautiful long private beach with clear blue water and you like to hear the waves lapping , see sand dunes and hear the sea gulls talking - this is it! RELAXING The Greg Norman golf course is a bonus."
Robbie tagged the Sandals Emerald Bay in the post, which garnered about 50 responses.
It started with positive messages wishing them a good time and playful jealous banter.
By Saturday, the comments turned to dread and concern from friends as news of the mysterious deaths reached the US, and then tribute and condolences by Sunday.
Family members reached by The Sun declined comment.
THE SAND LADY
Robbie created , which includes a list of "a Best of the Best Preferred Sandals and Beaches agency," according to the site's "about us" section.
They plan luxury honeymoons, Caribbean destination weddings, special family vacations and romantic getaways.
At least one well-respected doctor is skeptical of the A/C unit malfunction idea.
, a retired assistant surgeon general, told The Sun that paralysis and swollen arms and legs are "atypical" of freon poisoning and the two couples were in separate villas.
"There was a rush to say there was no foul play before an investigation even started," said Khan, who's currently the dean of College of Public Health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
He doesn't have a theory yet himself, especially without all the evidence.
