In another case, a 59 year old woman who was given first aid because she suffered engarrotamiento muscular (literally: muscular shin splints). At 6pm yesterday the Red Cross paramedics went to that same beach to assist Modesta Pech Can, 59, who said the engarrotamiento muscular was caused by an allergy to cold water. She refused to allow the paramedics to transport her to the hospital, and was left in the care of her family. (Por Esto notes she suffered the cramps immediately upon entering the water, and her family called the Red Cross for assistance, who almost immediately gave her first aid, but because she felt improved, she declined to go to the hospital. Por Esto also noted there are no vendors at the beaches, and they are vending on the nearby street Adolfo Lopez Mateos, and others have rented shops. There were no incidents during the reenactments of the Viacrusis.)
It is recalled that yesterday there was a death of a national tourist, that may have been a heart attack while swimming, but the cause is undefined and it is said that he drowned.

Leer más...The Federal Electrical Commission (CFE) used sophisticated equipment to locate the damage to an underwater electrical cable which caused a blackout for the whole island 15 days ago, and they have already repaired the damage. The line runs under the sea and arrives at the north part of the island, and the damaged area was about 500 meters before the cable enters the substation, and was about three meters underground. It was repaired without problems on Monday.

Feligreses católicos abarrotan representaciones de Viacrucis
Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 18 de abril.-
From 10am to about 3pm there were two live enactments of the Viacrucis and the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, with the last part taking place under intense rain. The third enactment by the Sacred Heart church in La Gloria began at 10:30am, and was observed by at least 500 Catholics, who witnessed the journey by the 50 island actors for the 14 stations. There were actors portraying Jesus, Mary, Herod, and Pilate, among other characters. After the first station, where Jesus was before Pilate and Herod, he was beaten and given the cross, and the young actors walked about a kilometer through the representation of the 12 stations, under intense sun and heat. It began at the doors of the church in La Gloria, up the avenue of Las Aves, to the primary school Julio Sauri Espinosa, and by the Habitat Plaza, and back to the same church via prolongacion Rueda Medina, and it ended around 11:30am.
The second representation began at 12:30 at the Guadalupe Chapel in Colonia Salinas, which involved fewer people, which may have been associated with the threat of rain, which began about a half hour later. Dozens of parishioners were driven away by the rain, especially those with young children or babes in arms, but the reenactment continued to the downtown area.
Tvisla Mujeres
Tragic Friday in Isla Mujeres when a Mexican tourist drowned at Playa Norte. Security was increased at the beaches. Authorities are considering the possibility of a heart attack in the death of the tourist from Jalisco
The state Attorney General ( La Procuraduría de Justicia del Estado de Quintana Roo) has not ruled out the possibility that tourist Omar Alejandro Hernández Arriero, 34, who passed away this morning (Friday) at one of the calmest beaches in Isla Mujeres, may have had a cardiac event that caused this fatal outcome. He was with Tonalí David Ibáñez, who is also from Guadalajara, Jalisco, near the hotel Mia (formerly Avalon Reef), when Hernandez suddenly needed help, and began to drown, although the water is not deep in that area. Drover pulled his body to shore, and tourists who knew first aid tried to resuscitate him, but to no avail. His body was taken by taxi to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The doctors said he arrived without vital signs, and there was nothing they could do for the young man. His body was taken to the Medical Examiners in Cancun for an autopsy, and the cause of death should be known tomorrow.

Refuerzan seguridad en la zona de playas

Por Carlos Gasca Isla Mujeres.-. Following the death of a domestic tourist on Friday at one of the calmest beaches in Isla Mujeres, the municipal Civil Protection agency decided to increase surveillance. There are red flag warnings in several places, but many domestic tourists ignore them, believing that all the beaches are tranquil.
In the case of the Mexican tourist who died on Friday, serious questions have been provoked, because the area is calm and without much depth. There is a small current, but not enough to drag an adult. Meanwhile, Civil Protection has increase surveillance to nine lifeguards, who are distributed around each of the public beaches. -

Por Carlos Gasca .-. The suradas, which are strong southerly winds, prevent the small vessels of the fishermen from being able to go out to work. In recent weeks, they have had several days of inactivity due to these winds, which are normal at this time of year. The situation is complicated by the increased demand for seafood during this holiday period, and their catches often sell out quickly on the day they are caught.
