The Sinaloa Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the death of three teenagers, ages 13, 14 and 15, which occurred during the storm that hit Guamúchil, in Salvador Alvarado. According to preliminary reports, the minors were playing near the Zopilote stream when the perimeter fence of the Renacimiento School collapsed on them.
The strong flow of the stream, increased by the rains, would have weakened the structure. Neighbors alerted the emergency services after hearing the noise. Firefighters and Civil Protection elements went to the place, located between the subdivision and the Primero de Mayo neighborhood.
The rescuers managed to recover the bodies of Cristian Adán “N”, Edwin Emiliano “N” and Jonathan Josué “N”. So far there are three versions of what happened: one suggests that they observed the water level from the top of the fence; another, that they were trying to cross the stream; and a third, who were swimming in the channel and holding on to the wall when it collapsed.
Experts and forensic experts collected testimonies and evidence in the area. The weather conditions made rescue efforts difficult. The Prosecutor’s Office continues the investigations to clarify the dynamics of the incident and determine responsibilities.
