Overview
- Governor Alfonso Durazo confirmed the death of 81-year-old Marcos Segundo and pledged a thorough investigation with state support for families.
- Segundo, a longtime packer at the downtown store, suffered second- and third-degree burns over about 90% of his body and died five days after the explosion.
- The official fatality count rose from 23 to 24, with authorities previously reporting a dozen people injured in the November 1 incident.
- A civil protection specialist and the Hermosillo Canaco president said the company bore responsibility for operating without an adequate internal protection program and cited oversight lapses by authorities.
- Segundo was treated at Clínica del Noroeste, and earlier reporting identified numerous victims as children and adult women, including one who was pregnant.
