Vacationers have been flocking to the South Florida area for fun and sun, but some unfortunate incidents have happened recently. Not only was there a recent shark attack in Miami Beach, but NBC Miami also learned of a tourist dying after getting stuck in a window at a Florida Keys resort.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said a body was found Thursday morning (March 18) at the Pelican RV Resort & Marina in Grassy Key. The body was identified as 22-year-old Sydney Therriault from Beallsville, Maryland, according to officials. She was pronounced dead at the scene, they added.

Detectives believe Therriault may have forgotten her hotel key and tried getting into her room through the room. Deputies said she may have gotten stuck and asphyxiated.

Officials suspect no foul play, and the autopsy results are pending, they added.

There have been other strange deaths reported across the globe. A man died after the grave he was digging collapsed in on him in New York. Last year, a Russian woman died after her iPhone fell in her bath water.
