Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — A third man burned in a Mayakoba work explosion has died. On Wednesday night, medical personnel confirmed the death of a third man seriously injured in the September 30 explosion.
The gas explosion happened in a construction area of the Rosewood hotel in Mayakoba last month. Five men were injured in the blast. At the time of the accident, all five were taken to hospital with three being reported as serious.
According to initial investigations, the explosion was caused by a leak in a gas tank that sparked a flash.
The area of the explosion was secured by the State Attorney General’s Office, which opened an investigation regarding accident that has now claimed three of the five injured men.
