The most recent victim is Patricia Marrón Cuetero, 52, who suffered severe burns on 90% of her body and died from these injuries.
Patricia, mother of Bryan and Jonathan, who also lost their lives in the explosion, had second and third-degree burns as a result of the tragedy that occurred in the San Pablo neighborhood. The municipal authorities of Chimalhuacán have reported that they are closely monitoring the recovery of the survivors, who are being treated in hospitals both in the municipality and in Mexico City.
