An American tourist died in a hot tub at a Mexican holiday resort and his wife was seriously injured. Authorities suspect that the couple suffered an electric shock in the hot tub, the New York Post reports.
The 43-year-old, identified by authorities only as Jorge G. from El Paso, Texas, died at around 10 p.m. at the Sonoran Sea Resort in Puerto Penasco, while his wife Lizette Z. suffered life-threatening injuries, according to the Sonora State Attorney’s Office, according to the El Paso Times. Lizette Z. was brought to the United States and is in critical condition, according to the broadcaster.
