Three people had heart attacks and about 21 in all were treated for injuries after being sickened Thursday night at the Angel Valley Sweat Lodge in Sedona. Two died.
The resort is next to GOP Sen. John McCain’s ranch, according to MyFOXPhoenix.
Emergency crews responded about 5 p.m. Thursday to a hazardous materials situation at the sauna, the station said. Three patients were reportedly suffering cardiac arrest when ambulances and a helicopter arrived.
About 50 people were in a “sweatbox” type of structure when they were overcome at the resort, which provides Native American-style spiritual retreats, Yavapai County sheriff’s spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn said Friday.
