A tragic incident occurred at a Mexican resort hot tub where a married American couple from El Paso, TX, Jorge Guillen and Lizzette Zambrano, were electrocuted. Unfortunately, Jorge passed away due to the electrical discharge, while Lizzette is currently in critical condition at a hospital.
Reports suggest that the cause of the electrocution is still under investigation by the Sonora attorney general’s office. Witnesses claim that a woman discovered Jorge and Lizzette unresponsive in the hot tub and was also shocked when she tried to enter the water to help them. This led to a chaotic scene and calls for assistance.
In response to this tragedy, Jorge and Lizzette’s family have set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for medical expenses and to bring Jorge home. The family described Jorge as having a heart of gold and always being there for loved ones. The GoFundMe has received overwhelming support, with donations exceeding $25,000.
The attorney general’s office in Sonora is continuing its investigation into the incident and plans to release more information soon. Despite reaching out to the hotel where the tragedy occurred, there has been no response from them yet.
This unfortunate event serves as a reminder of the importance of safety precautions and regular maintenance checks in public facilities, especially those involving water and electricity. It is essential for authorities and establishments to ensure the well-being of their guests and prevent such accidents from happening in the future.
