Several families are dealing with a pain no parent should ever have to face, after two young girls died on Sunday in Sylvan Lake in central Alberta. One of the girls was 13-year-old Olivia Dawn Johnson from Red Deer, and the other was a 12-year-old girl from Sylvan Lake.

“The hole Olivia has left in our hearts and in our lives is enormous, and our family is still trying to come to terms with the reality of not having her bounce into the house, spunky and smiling,” the family said in a statement to Global News on Thursday.

Alberta RCMP are investigating the death of the two girls after their bodies were found in a room at the Best Western Hotel in Sylvan Lake, a town about 15 kilometres west of Red Deer popular with recreationists and lake-goers. The night Olivia passed, her family said she was with a friend at a birthday gathering.

There was a parent nearby, police said. The family said the two girls had a room next door to the parent, who would check in periodically.

Alberta RCMP media relations Cpl. Troy Savinkoff said the medical examiner’s office is looking into the possibility the girls died from an overdose, but toxicology testing takes anywhere from a few days to a few months to complete.
