Officers were dispatched to the Marriott Irvine Spectrum on Irvine Center Drive at 2:30 p.m. to provide medical assistance, the Irvine Police Department said in an X post. A hotel employee found the two victims inside the room, Sgt. Karie Davies said. There will be a police presence in the area as authorities investigate, the post said.
