 They were found dead on Sept. 22 after an employee at the Maia Luxury Resort and Spa tried to wake them, according to the hotel and local officials. 
 
 "There were no marks on them whatsoever," Seychelles Tourism Minister Alain St Ange told NBC News. "They had a good time in the day and then they went to their room." 
 
 St Ange said their brother and mother have traveled to the island "and they are trying to find the cause." 
 
 Police told the Seychelles News Agency that preliminary investigation showed there was "no sign of violence" on the bodies. NBC News' calls to officers handling the investigation were not returned early Thursday. 
 
 Local media reported an autopsy was scheduled later this week. 
 
 Annie Korkki was 37 years old and lived in Denver and Robin Korkki was 42 and lived in Chicago, according to NBC station KARE, which spoke with their family members. 
 
 Facebook and LinkedIn pages matching Annie Korkki’s details said she worked as a senior administrative assistant at JPMorgan Chase in Denver. The company had not responded to NBC News' request for confirmation early Thursday. 
 
 Both sisters went to high school in a suburb of Minneapolis, KARE reported. 
 
 "It's all very surreal," their brother, Chris Korkki, who lives in Lakeville, Minnesota, told the station. "We don't know very much. Our family is still very much in shock. We're devastated."

 The U.S. Embassy in Mauritius, another island around 1,000 miles away, extended its "deepest condolences to family and friends," spokeswoman Valérie Olla told NBC News in an email. 
 
 "Our thoughts are with the family and friends," added Priya Naidoo, press officer for hotel group Tsogo Sun, which manages the resort. 
 
 The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands some 800 miles from the East African coast, known for its beaches and high-end luxury resorts.

– Two sisters from Minnesota described by their brother as "experienced foreign travelers" were found dead last week while on vacation in the Seychelles, an archipelago off the east coast of Africa—and no one yet knows why, CBS Minnesota reports. Workers at the Maia Luxury Resort on the island of Mahe say they spotted Robin Korkki, 42, and Annie Korkki, said to be 37 or 38, kicking back with drinks throughout the day on either Sept. 21 or 22 (reports differ) and that they were assisted to their room around 8:15pm, the Seychelles Nation reports, via People. The next day, the sisters were found "unresponsive" in their beds by staff, with no obvious signs of trauma. "There were no marks on them whatsoever," the Seychelles tourism minister tells NBC News. Medication was found in the women's villa, though police haven't said what kind. Autopsies are scheduled for this week, the Nation notes. "At this point, the only details we know are the articles flying around online," their brother, Chris Korkki, tells the Star Tribune, describing his sisters as adventurers who "definitely wanted to experience life to the fullest." The sisters were a week into their trip at the $2,000-per-night luxury resort when they were found dead; they were due to depart for home on Sept. 24, the Seychelles News Agency reports. CBS notes that both local authorities and the US Embassy are involved in trying to figure out what happened. Meanwhile, more than $25,000 has been raised so far on a crowdfunding page for the sisters' family.
