The Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica is investigating the deaths of a mother and daughter, both citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who died while staying at a hotel in Dobri Voda, Montenegro.

The 22-year-old daughter died first, followed by her 45-year-old mother approximately one hour later. Reports indicate the women had suffered from nausea and headaches in the days leading up to the incident. While some preliminary pathological reports suggested sudden cardiac arrest, authorities are awaiting official autopsy results to determine the exact cause of death and have urged the public to avoid premature conclusions.
