At least 48 dead and six missing in Mexico after Hurricane Otis

Hurricane Otis, which devastated the Pacific coast of Mexico, including the famous seaside resort of Acapulco, left 48 dead, and six people remain missing.

A previous report reported 43 deaths, most of them by drowning, but the deaths of five other people in Coyuca de Benitez, a town neighboring Acapulco, in southwest Mexico, have since been reported.

These are the first figures from towns located near the seaside town, devastated on Wednesday October 25 by the hurricane where, until now, other deaths and most of the material damage have been recorded.
