Two Sisters Die From Indoor Brazier Fumes in Veracruz Mountain Town

Civil-protection warnings follow the prosecutors’ inquiry into the Tetelcingo deaths.

Overview

  • Briana, 13, died at the Regional Hospital of Río Blanco after her sister Camila, 6, was found dead earlier, according to local reports.
  • The girls were in their Tetelcingo home in Coscomatepec when an anafre was used in an unventilated bedroom, causing lethal smoke inhalation.
  • The Fiscalía Regional de Huatusco, with forensic personnel, carried out on-site procedures and opened a legal investigation.
  • Officials urged communities in the highlands to avoid indoor braziers as Cold Front No. 12 brings near-freezing temperatures and reported frosts.
  • Earlier coverage varied on ages and the toll, but the latest accounts confirm two fatalities and identify the victims as Briana and Camila.
