According to CNN and other foreign media, British Ebony McIntosh (24) and German Nadine Lagus (26), who were staying at the Miracle Colombo City hostel in Sri Lanka's capital, died while receiving hospital treatment for suspected pesticide poisoning.
Earlier, the hostel reportedly fumigated the accommodations where women stayed to fight bedbugs.
Since then, the two women have shown symptoms such as vomiting and nausea along with dyspnea.
They died hours after being taken to the hospital.
Local police said autopsies will be carried out to determine the cause of death when the families arrive.
