Four people die and nearly 40 others are hospitalized after guests drink what authorities describe as suspected tainted tequila at a 15th birthday party in Mexico’s state of Guanajuato, according to reports. The incident occurs at a private celebration for a girl turning 15. Among those who die are the girl’s father and uncle, alongside other victims identified in the reports as three men and one woman. The hospitalized group includes the injured guests who are taken to medical facilities after experiencing symptoms following alcohol consumption. The tequila served at the gathering is described as “bootleg,” suggesting it may be illegally produced or improperly handled. The accounts indicate that the deaths and hospitalizations are linked to the same source of alcohol served at the party. Authorities are treating the event as a suspected poisoning case, though the reports do not provide further detail on the substance involved or the investigative findings at the time of publication.
