American tourist dies, wife badly injured after being electrocuted in spawning tank at Mexican resort
The thing about Third World problems is that even high-end resorts have them there.
[NYP] An American tourist died and his wife was badly injured while lounging in a hot tub at a private Mexican resort Tuesday — and authorities believe they were likely electrocuted by the malfunctioning device.

The 43-year-old man, whom authorities only identified as Jorge G., of El Paso, Texas, was killed and Lizette Z. suffered life-threatening injuries around 10 p.m. at the Sonoran Sea Resort in Puerto Penasco, the General Prosecutor’s Office for the State of Sonora said, according to KTSM.

Lizette Z. was taken to the US and is in critical condition, the station reported.

The wife had burns that appeared to indicate she suffered electric shock that might have been caused by faulty wiring, the General Prosecutor’s Office reportedly said.

A witness who knew the couple said she saw the pair in the outdoor hot tub, but neither was moving, according to the General Prosecutor’s Office.
There are lots of ways to die in hot tubs. Early in his career, while enjoying several adult beverages in one at a nice hotel on the far side of the world, Mr. Wife discovered he was in the process of drowning when a passing gentleman pulled him out by his hair. I am grateful he was given the chance to learn from the experience…
