A Texas woman has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against two Mexican resort travel companies, seeking more than $1 million, after her husband tragically died after being electrocuted in a resort hot tub.
Lizzette Zambrano, from El Paso County, Texas, named vacation rental companies Casago LLC, Casago International LLC, and High Desert Travel Inc. in the lawsuit, which operated Sonoran Sea Resort where she was staying with her husband, Jorge Guillen.
Zambrano accused the companies of being “grossly negligent” and has called for them to “take accountability” for her husband’s death.
The lawsuit details the couple’s last moments together before being electrocuted in the hot tub while on vacation. As soon as Guillen entered the tub, he was exposed to an electrical current in the water, causing him to collapse into the tub. Zambrano attempted to rescue him but was also shocked in the process.
It took ten minutes before staff members assisted in rescuing Guillen, who tragically drowned under water while being electrocuted.
Guillen was remembered for having a “heart of gold” in a GoFundMe set up for the couple.
Casago denied responsibility in a comment to the New York Post, stating that the homeowners’ association is responsible for all common areas, including the maintenance of the swimming pool, hot tubs, and grounds.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Sonoran Sea Resort for comment on the tragic incident.
