Teenager suffers electric shock and dies in Mérida’s Colonia Azcorra park

A 13-year-old boy died from electrocution on Monday, April 22, at night when he was practicing soccer in the Colonia Azcorra park.

The minor was exercising when at one point he touched one of the goalposts on the soccer field and suffered a strong electric shock.

Given the report, paramedics came in an SSP ambulance, but they could no longer save his life and only confirmed his death in the park located on 26th Street, between 71st and 73rd of that neighborhood.

Apparently, according to witnesses of the event, the report of the electrical failure in the goal had already been reported, but the complaint was not attended to by the municipal authorities.
