Her fiancee Ryan Kells send her to hospital after found out she is terribly sick in a room where they stay at Laleena Guesthouse on Phi Phi Island. Ryan mentioned most of the time she was in the room while he went out hanging around, and he can smell there is some sort of stove gas type of smell in the room, they both difficult to breath, vomiting, stomach ache, feeling weak and low blood pressure in that 2 days but Jill was more serious. So he believe her dead might relate to gas poisoning from the air-cond. Robert St. Onge (Julie's brother) said his sister's lung tissue was completely gone, and there's no explanation from the Thailand Government.

(This is the backside of Laleena Guesthouse, there is a water treatment factory nearby and rumour said the poisonous death might related with it)A Bangkok specialist epidemiologist is already on Phil Phi, seeking to find the reason behind the mysterious fatalities.
Thailand's top forensic scientist, Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand, is expected to be involved in autopsies to determine what killed the women.
A spokeswoman at Vachira Hospital on Phuket confirmed the bodies of two women had been received from Phi Phi and sent on to Bangkok for forensic tests.
Thailand currently focus on investigating the possibility of food poisoning, however William Hurley (USA Washington, poison expert) says usually death from food poisoning are cause by dehydrate, both victims doesn't have this symptom. He conclude the 2 victims seems pretty much die of gas poisoning. This is match with what Jill's brother's had conclude as well.
