The death toll from Hurricane Otis in Mexico has risen to 39, with 10 people still missing. The cause of death is believed to be suffocation by submersion. The government is facing criticism for its slow response to the disaster.
Mexico Security Secretary Rosa Icela Rodriguez said in a recorded video message with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador posted to the platform X that the probable cause of death for the 39 was "suffocation by submersion." But she added that investigations continue and that the victims had not yet been identified.The increase comes after the initial death toll of 27 had not changed since it was announced Thursday.
Authorities had the difficult task of searching for the dead and missing. Many had remained incredulous that the government's initial death toll of 27 and four missing had not risen in the past two days. "Even though it isn't much, it's something," he said as he walked down the winding mountain highway toward the city center.
Gasoline had been unavailable, not because there wasn't any, but because there was no electricity to operate the pumps. Rural Economic Development Minister Gudie Hutchings says if Western and Prairie provinces want to secure carve-outs in the federal government's carbon pricing policy, they should elect more Liberal ministers who can share their concerns with the government.
