North Carolina police are investigating the case of a mother and son who were found unresponsive at a Best Western hotel in Boone, North Carolina on Saturday.
Jeffrey Williams, 11, was pronounced dead at the scene while his mother Jeannie Williams, 49, is being treated at a hospital in Boone.
Two moths ago an elderly couple died in the same Best Western hotel room of unknown causes. Medics have not yet determined if the deaths are related, but police continue to investigate the incident.
Doug Jenkins, the late couple's son, said he was outraged that the hotel was still renting out the room before the toxicology results on his parents came back.
Sgt. Shane Robbins said in a news release that there was no danger to the general public.
“While no evidence has been discovered that these incidents are related, investigators continue to explore all possibilities,” Robbins said
