Experts are testing food, water and air conditioning systems at an Egyptian resort hotel where a British couple died under mysterious circumstances, the chief executive of travel company Thomas Cook said Sunday. She said John Cooper died in his room, and Susan Cooper died after she was taken to the hospital. But the hotel told The Associated Press in an email that there was no increased level of illness there and attributed the couple's deaths to "natural causes." Prosecutors in Egypt on Saturday dismissed speculation that toxic gas fumes in the Coopers' hotel room killed the couple. It said Susan Cooper later fainted and was rushed to a hospital, where resuscitation attempts continued for a half-hour.
