Family and friends are grieving the loss of a Canadian couple who died while having sex in a Mexican hotel hot tub - just two days before they were due to watch their daughter tie the knot.
Charles McKenzie, 67, died after suffering a heart attack in the hot tub at the luxury Playacar Palace Hotel in Playa del Carmen, while his wife, Dorothy, 63, drowned moments later, officials said.
Mrs McKenzie, known as 'Dot' to friends, was apparently squashed by her dying husband's body, resulting in her death from 'asphyxiation by submersion', an autopsy found.
The pair's bodies were reportedly discovered by their 35-year-old daughter at 10am on Tuesday
They are believed to have died either in the early hours of the morning, or late the night before, and there were no signs of forced entry or disorder in the room when it was investigated by police.
If it had gone ahead as planned, the wedding would have taken place Thursday.
'They're wonderful, both great people, and I'm going to miss them,' neighbor Millie Harrison told CTV News.
'I don't even want to go up the street anymore for a long time and see their house empty.
'It's kind of sad that her mom and dad aren't able to enjoy the festivities.'
A postal employee said she remembers the couple as being 'very nice people.'
'Dot was very outgoing. It was like you knew her all your life, even if you didn't,' Suzanne MacDonald told CTV News.

A hotel spokesman said the McKenzies' deaths are being investigated by police, but no foul play is suspected, according to CTV News.
The spokesman also dismissed reports that the couple may have been electrocuted in the tub, insisting: 'All the equipment was working perfectly. What the family mentioned was a heart attack.'
A Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman confirmed the deaths of two Canadians.
Consular officials are helping the couple's loved ones to deal with the tragedy.
The tight-knit community where the couple is from is remembering the pair as beloved neighbors

Although it was initially feared that the couple may have been killed due to an electrical fault, an autopsy later showed that Mr McKenzie, known as 'Skip' to friends, died from a heart attack, officials told Canadian media.
Mrs McKenzie, meanwhile, was found to have drowned.
The couple, both from Baddeck, Nova Scotia, had traveled to Mexico for their daughter's wedding, and were staying on the fourth floor of the hotel in Quintana Roo when the tragedy occurred.
Speaking to The Canadian Press earlier this week, Mrs McKenzie's brother, Douglas Hastings, said he didn't know whether the wedding would be cancelled following the bride's parents' deaths.
'I know that they're more concerned about the remains and cremation and things like that. I don't really know about the wedding,' said Mr Hastings, whose wife is also in Mexico for the wedding.

I don't know that I believe it. I think that maybe there was an electrical fault and the hotel is going to want to cover that up. I just find it hard to believe that he died and she wasn't able to push her way to the surface. I mean how do they know they were having sex in the first place? And, even if they were, her head would have been above water at the time so that seems a little TOO convenient.
Really? I have never heard that. IF there was an electrical malfunction, then that could look like a heart attack. And, if he died and she was electrocuted and gasped then that could look like a drowning as well. They seem pretty quick to try to close the book on that.
Well, it might have been good for him - but probably terrifying for her.
