The family's hotel room was situated next to a machine room, believed to be the source of the carbon monoxide leak, with levels reaching 600 parts per million.
The investigation remains ongoing, with final toxicology and forensic results expected in the coming months, and the FBI assisting Costa Rican authorities.
The Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort expressed condolences and stated its cooperation with the investigation while avoiding speculation on the cause of death.
