Here’s a cautionary tale of an old, old story, be careful on vacation! It’s cool to cut loose and have fun but you still have to be VERY careful!
Two American sisters were found mysteriously dead after a night of partying at a luxury resort off the coast of Africa, and now their devastated family is traveling to the tropical island to get answers.
The bodies of Annie Korkki, 37, and Robin Korkki, 42, were discovered last Thursday inside their $1,800 per night villa at the Maia Luxury Resort and Spa on the East African island of Seychelles, officials said.
The Minnesota-born siblings were successful and work in the financial sector; Annie had a job with JP Morgan Chase in Denver and Robin was an executive for Allston Trading in Chicago, according to their social media pages.
In the 24 hours leading up to their deaths, the pair had been drinking headily and had gotten so drunk they needed to be assisted back to their room by resort personnel, local newpaper, The Seychelles Nation newspaper is reporting..
The staff helped them into bed and left the room around 8:15 p.m. last Wednesday. It was the last time anyone saw them alive, the paper reported.
The next day, their personal butler notified a supervisor that something was wrong after he became concerned that the locked room was unusually quiet. The supervisor told management and police were contacted.
The sisters were found on the same bed with no visible signs of trauma to their bodies. An autopsy will be performed to determine how they died.
Police said their villa had not been ransacked and nothing appeared to be stolen or missing.
The two had been on vacation for a week, beginning on Sept. 15, when all this happen. They were supposed to return to the states on Sept. 22, but decided to extend their stay to Sept. 24.
They posted several Facebook photos documenting their time on the beautiful island, including one showing the stunning views from their villa with Annie writing a caption that read, “The best place ever.”
Their brother, Chris Korkki, told local news: “The family is in shock. Everyone is trying to understand and come to terms with what happened.”
Chris also stated that his mother and brother had flown to Seychelles to press police officials for answers. So tragic and sad. My heart goes out to this family. So everyone, especially my ladies just remember use the same caution and common sense you do to watch your back and protect yourself here in St. Louis when you go on vacation and anywhere else!
