A relaxing vacation turned into a tragic event for a married couple from El Paso, Texas, when they were electrocuted in a hot tub at a resort in Puerto PeƱasco, Mexico. Jorge Guillen and his wife, Lizzette Zambrano, were identified as the victims of this horrific incident. Unfortunately, Jorge did not survive, and Lizzette remains in critical condition at a local hospital.

The Sonora attorney generalā€™s office reported that the couple experienced a severe electrical shock while in the jacuzzi.

The resort has not yet commented on the incident, and there are ongoing inquiries to understand the electrical fault that led to this devastating event.

In the aftermath, Jorge and Lizzetteā€™s family has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover medical expenses and to repatriate Jorgeā€™s body back to the United States. The family expressed their profound loss, describing Jorge as a man with a ā€œheart of goldā€ who was always there for his loved ones.

The tragedy has not only shocked the local community but also serves as a stark reminder of the potential hazards associated with electrical systems in public amenities. The investigation by the Sonora attorney generalā€™s office aims to uncover whether there were lapses in safety protocols or maintenance issues that contributed to the accident.
