A British holidaymaker has died at a hotel in a tourist town in northern Mexico.
Her husband, understood to be Irish, is said to have sought help after finding her unconscious. Emergency responders including police rushed to the unnamed hotel in Creel in the state of Chihuahua but were unable to do anything to save her.
Local press described the dead woman as a 75-year-old and said her husband was 79. A translator is said to have assisted police at the scene. No information has yet been released about a possible cause of death. A post-mortem will take place.
Creel is a small mountain town surrounded by a patchwork of rugged canyons and is regarded as the gateway to Mexico’s Copper Canyon which is one of the wildest and most beautiful regions in the country.
It was traditionally a logging town but tourism is now the primary job source. It is a 3.5 hour drive away from the state capital Chihuahua. One of the regional attractions is El Chepe train, regarded as the best way to cross the Copper Canyon and one of the world’s most exciting rail trips.
