Officials said the dead included an American, a Canadian and a person from England, adding that they had been living in Acapulco for some time.
Three foreign residents, including one from England, were among at least 45 people killed when Hurricane Otis hit the resort city of Acapulco last week, officials in Mexico have said.
Acapulco is known for both its abundance of expensive yachts, as well as cheap tour boats that carry tourists around the bay.“A ship with a crane is going to arrive to lift the boats … we already know where they are.”Otis roared ashore early on Wednesday with devastating 165mph winds after strengthening so rapidly that people had little time to prepare.
In Acapulco, families held funerals for the dead on Sunday and continued the search for essentials while government workers and volunteers cleared streets clogged with muck and debris left by the hurricane. “There are many, many people here at the that are entire families; families of six, families of four, even eight people,” she said.During a short time outside the mortuary on Sunday morning, at least half a dozen families arrived, some looking for relatives, others identifying bodies and some giving statements to authorities.
