A Maryland couple was found dead in their Dominican Republic hotel room

Edward Nathaniel Holmes, 63, and Cynthia Ann Day, 49, missed their scheduled check out time at the Bahia Principe Hotel. Staff members from the hotel went into their room and found the couple unresponsive.

There were no signs of violence in the room, Mejia said.

Relatives told CNN affiliate WBAL that Holmes and Day were engaged. They were from Prince George's County, Maryland and supposed to fly back home the day they were found, the station reported.

Hotel staff contacted local authorities. The cause of their death is not yet known, but both bodies have been transported to the Dominican National Institute of Forensic Sciences for an exam.

"We are deeply saddened by the incident at one of our hotels in La Romana, Dominican Republic, and want to express our deepest condolences to their family and friends," Bahia Principe Hotels said in a statement.

CNN's Chandler Thornton, Mitchell McCluskey and Sandra Sanchez contributed to this report.
