**Bodies of Three Drowning Victims Recovered in Tecate**
The Municipal Coordination of Civil Protection and Firefighters has recovered the bodies of three individuals, two women and a man, who drowned at a lake in Tecate. The incident occurred in Ciénega Redonda where witnesses reported a tragic sequence of events.
At approximately 16:00 hours, a 17-year-old girl showed signs of drowning, prompting two adults to dive into the lake in an attempt to rescue her. Unfortunately, all three individuals – residents of Tijuana – tragically lost their lives. The victims were identified as 59-year-old Juan Ramírez García, 24-year-old Esmeralda Pacheco Santos, and 17-year-old Diana.
Due to the challenging nature of the recovery, specialized personnel from the Fire Department in Tijuana, including rescue divers, were called to assist. Authorities from the Fiscalía, CAPUFE, and the Red Cross also responded to the scene. By 19:00 hours, the bodies were successfully retrieved and have been transported for due processing.
