Officials in Mexico have claimed the allegations that two college students were drugged with fentanyl-laced drinks at a resort are false.
NEW INVESTIGATION
The head of the State Attorney General’s office (FGE), Raciel López Salazar, said an investigation has found that Zara Hull and Kaylie Pitze were never spiked, Riveria Maya News reports.
The Oklahoma State University students were left in wheelchairs after drinking the possibly tainted water on August 2.
Disturbing images showed them slumped over a poolside bar moments after the alleged poisoning.
But in a statement, Salazar said the girls’ drug tests came back clean and that the case has been ‘exaggerated and classifies it as simple alcohol consumption’.
‘There was no drug dealing here in Quintana Roo with fentanyl,’ he added.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Hull and Pitze were on a dream vacation with their boyfriends when the horror unfolded.
It was previously reported they were in Cancun, but in fact they were staying at a hotel in Isla Mujeres, the investigation revealed.

State Secretary of Tourism, Bernardo Cueto, said the students and their families are yet to lodge any formal complaint.
He called the situation a ‘very rare case and a very strange situation that is being investigated’.
Hull said she experienced convulsions before passing out and becoming ‘basically paralyzed.’
Snider rushed her to the hospital and remained by her side as staff reportedly demanded thousands of dollars for treatment.
