Jennifer Logan of Saskatoon is shown in a family handout photo. Relatives of a Canadian woman say they are hoping test results will reveal why she died at a rainforest retreat in Peru.

Avid traveller Jennifer Logan had finished a job teaching English to women in Saudia Arabia, and was visiting family back in Canada, when she set off last month for her next adventure in Peru.
