An American tourist died and his wife was badly injured while lounging in a hot tub at a private Mexican resort Tuesday — and authorities believe they were likely electrocuted by the malfunctioning device.

The 43-year-old man, whom authorities only identified as Jorge G., of El Paso, Texas, was killed and Lizette Z. suffered life-threatening injuries around 10 p.m. at the Sonoran Sea Resort in Puerto Penasco, the General Prosecutor’s Office for the State of Sonora said, according to KTSM.

Lizette Z. was taken to the US and is in critical condition, the station reported.
