Friends of all three women said that Muller, whom she had known since she was seven, had no interest in parties or drinking.
“When you hear a possible OD, it's very frustrating because it automatically attributes the traits to the person, but that may be the farthest from the truth,” Boston-based news Hajar el Kalfawi said, according to the station.
“When I graduated, Iman said he didn't want me to go to the party, she didn't want to go because she was drinking there, and that was the kind of person she was. When they say it's OD, I never believe it's true.”
Authorities have not announced the official cause of death as they await the results of the autopsy of each woman, but Belize police say they found alcohol and garlic in a friend's room at Royal Cahal Beach Resort in San Pedro .

Naqqad's landlord and neighbor, Revere City Councilman Ira Novoselsky, accused Belize authorities of desperately blowing the answer.

Mayor Patrick Keefe Jr. said he was working to get more answers from Belize officials and expressed sadness to the woman's family.
“These are daughters, friends and contributors to our city and we have heard widespread concerns from family and community members about the lack of transparency in this study and the media stories depicted by Belize authorities. It may happen,” Keefe said in a statement.
“I have been in touch with members of the federal delegation, including Senator Ed Markey and Whip Catherine Clark. We've been doing locksteps to bring answers to these families and their communities. Masu.”
The US State Department said it is also investigating the deaths of the woman.
“We are closely monitoring this incident and are in close contact and working with the investigation into local government deaths,” the department said in a statement.

While she waited for the answer, Kalfawi said he would not stop loving her dear friend.
“Wafae, Imane and Kaoutar were some of the best people I know,” she said all night. “They were so loved and cherished in this community. It's a tragedy. Everyone grew up with these girls. If you hear their names and hear them, Give a prayer for them.”
