1. Apparently still no
cause of death determined in the two participants who died.

I thought this was interesting:

http://www.9wsyr.com/news/local/story/Ariz-sweat-lodge-deaths-included-a-NY-woman/XRH3cf9Ms02bdnDJaA4yQg.cspx

(snip)

Ray's (the owner) retreat schedule had few details about what participants could expect, other than thrice-daily meals and group gatherings that started at 7 a.m. and ended 16 hours later.

The details came in a lengthy release of liability that acknowledges participants may suffer "physical, emotional, financial or other injuries" while hiking or swimming, or during a multi-day personal and spiritual quest in the wilderness without food or water or the sweat lodge.

Some participants told detectives they paid up to $9,000 for the event. Ray's company, James Ray International, is based in Carlsbad, Calif.

Ray's posting on his Twitter account hours before the deaths said: "Still in Spiritual Warrior ... for anything new to live something first must die. What needs to die in you so that new life can emerge?"

The posting and two others were deleted Friday afternoon.

Participants may suffer financial injuries while hiking or swimming, etc. Hmmm.

2. Maybe they'd received the HPV vaccine shortly beforehand?
Note to lurkers: I'm not mocking their deaths; I'm mocking anti-vax hysteria.
