BANGKOK, Thailand -- A media report says the Canadian Embassy in Bangkok has asked Thai authorities to delay autopsies on the bodies of two Canadian sisters until the arrival of their relatives.
Noemi Belanger and Audrey Belanger of eastern Quebec died last week under mysterious circumstances at a hotel on Phi Phi Island.
The Bangkok Post says the bodies of the women in their 20s have since been transferred to Bangkok.
The newspaper says the embassy and relatives have asked that the post-mortems be performed at Bangkok's Ramathibodi Hospital.
The hospital's director told the Post that it has received the bodies from police and the autopsies will be concluded in two weeks.
Police earlier confirmed that the women didn't appear to have been murdered and evidence suggests they may have been accidentally poisoned.
The sisters grew up Pohenegamook, a town in eastern Quebec near the Maine border. They studied in Quebec City with their eldest sister, but worked at the family store in the community of roughly 3,000.
