An El Paso, Texas, man vacationing at a private resort in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, has died after getting electrocuted in a jacuzzi on Tuesday, according to reports.
A local NBC station in El Paso reported that the Mexican State of Sonora General Prosecutor’s Office said the man, only identified as 43-year-old Jorge N., and another person, Lizeth, N., were at the Sonoran Sea Resort and in a jacuzzi just after 10 p.m.
Lizeth was taken to a nearby hospital where she was reportedly informed she suffered from burns consistent with electric shock.
