A 22-YEAR-old American woman has drowned while celebrating Spring Break in Cancun, in the latest death in a season plagued by shootings.
The tragic death comes after Arizona State University freshman Aiden Nevarez accidentally plummeted 20 feet to his death at a hotel in Cabo just hours after arriving for Spring Break.
The young woman was pulled from the sea's strong currents on Tuesday and taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead, as reported by Riviera Maya News.
She was reportedly at the beach in the Cancun Hotel Zone with her boyfriend when she started struggling in the water.
Hotel staff pulled her from the water and requested an ambulance after the boyfriend ran for help.
Aside from the two deaths in Mexico, a spate of shootings in the US during the 2022 Spring Break season has left at least one dead and 46 injured.
