At least two people die during World Cup celebrations in Mexico City after Mexico’s national team qualifies for the last 16, according to local authorities cited by multiple outlets. Reports say large crowds gather in central areas to celebrate the team’s progress following their last-32 victory. Mexico City’s health ministry or related health authorities state that deaths are caused by asphyxiation or suffocation amid crowding. One report specifies a 19-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man who die from asphyxia, and that authorities have not confirmed an additional death reported by local media at the time. Other outlets report a third death, citing the capital’s health secretariat and describing the fatalities as occurring from suffocation while thousands of fans crowd the streets. Overall, the coverage agrees that the incident happens during mass celebrations connected to the World Cup result, that fatalities result from breathing difficulties associated with crowd pressure, and that the final death toll is reported as two confirmed deaths with some sources later citing a third.
