Overview

  • In their first public comment since the tragedy the resort offered condolences via its social media channels and asserted full openness to any information requests from authorities.
  • Sagid, a 36-year-old tourist from Morelia, died on July 22 after an apparent electrical fault delivered a lethal shock in his private jacuzzi.
  • His family accuses the resort of failing to maintain the jacuzzi’s electrical system and of tampering with evidence to avoid liability.
  • Relatives launched the #JusticiaParaSagid campaign online and have rejected a forensic report attributing the death to acute myocardial infarction.
  • More than a week after his death the Guerrero prosecutor’s office has provided no public updates on its investigation.
