Suicide by 45 year old woman
Mujer de 45 años decide quitarse la vida[+] Ver mas
The first suicide of 2016 occurred in colonia Salina Chica Wednesday afternoon, when Roxana Martinez Azuaga, 45, hung herself, allegedly due to family problems. The incident occurred at 4pm in the family's rental home on Jesus Martinez Avenue, where her children discovered her body and called 066 for help. The body had been taken down before the police arrived, and procedures were begun to take their statement at the Public Ministry of Common Law, and to transport the body to SEMEFO (Medical Examiners) in Cancun.
Neighbors and family members were alarmed and shocked, as they gathered together to try to understand this incident that occurred, in the midst of rain and northerly winds brought on by cold front #28. It is noted that the suicide rate has dropped in recent years, and this is the first event of this type since the beginning of this year. Some cases have arisen as a consequence of the social problems of the country, and because of economic and emotional problems.
Students & environmentalists exchange experiences

After the educational meetings and exhibition about environmental conservation, the students were given Rosca de Reyes cake and chocolate milk. The hotel managers gave them candy and toys to take home and share with other family members.
Poor weather continues
Se mantiene el mal climaco.. [+] Ver mas
Jan. 13. Poor weather continued Wednesday morning in the northern part of Quintana Roo with strong winds that cause the closure of the port for boats under 40 feet, starting at 7am, due to winds from the north east at 27-31 kph with stronger gusts. The National Water Commission (CONAGUA) said the influx of moist air from the Pacific Ocean was favored by the jet stream that is across the Gulf of Mexico, interacting with a stationary front that has been moving across the Atlantic from the Bahamas to western Cuba in the northeastern Caribbean Sea, to affect the coasts and coastal seas of Quintana Roo, causing overcast skies and chances of light rain, and the possibility of electrical activity in the northern region, fog, and warmer temperatures.
There was light rain at times on Wednesday, preventing people from enjoying the beaches, however when the weather improved, visitors took the opportunity to walk around, drive vehicles, and some went to the beach before 3pm. The frontal system is expected to remain stationary over the northwestern Caribbean Sea, bringing strong rain to Quintana Roo and lighter showers to Yucatan, with CONAGUA predicting a 40 percent chance of showers with strong storms. The weather is expected to improve on Saturday, and on Sunday the effects of strong winds of Cold Front #30 are anticipated.
