11. Unlikely if they were packed to go on a trip together.

Packing is such a pain in the rear. Also, they'd bought plane tickets. Why bother if you're going on that other kind of trip?

Besides, others have died under similar circumstances, so Occam's Razor suggests that the most obvious explantion is the most likely one.
