Those confirmed dead included one American, one Canadian and one person from England, all of whom had been living in Acapulco for some time.
Three foreign residents were among at least 45 people killed when Hurricane Otis hit Mexico’s resort city of Acapulco last week, officials said Monday, as the continuing search for the missing focused on submerged boats. Those confirmed dead included one American, one Canadian and one person from England, all of whom had been living in Acapulco for some time and were not considered tourists, local prosecutors said.
Mexico’s civil defense agency said in a statement that 43 of the dead were in the resort city of Acapulco and five in the nearby township of Coyuca de Benitez. Guerrero state’s governor created some confusion Monday by reporting 45 dead, but it was unclear if she was citing the toll only for Acapulco or the whole state. Gov. Evelyn Salgado did say, however, that the number of missing had risen to 47.
