A waiter died in Puerto Vallarta when he prevented a girl from drowning

César Guadalupe Chávez Medrano became the hero of Puerto Vallarta, in the state of Jalisco, when he saved a girl from drowning. Unfortunately, the man passed away after not being able to get out himself.

It was on Monday, May 10, when the 48-year-old man was walking on the beach of Los Muertos. There, she realized that the waves washed away a girl and she was having a hard time getting out of the sea.

César Guadalupe then left his belongings on the sand and swam out to sea. He managed to reach the girl, identified only as Africa “N”, and rescue her, but when he tried to get out, a wave returned him to the sea and submerged him.

Lifeguards, elements of the National Guard and paramedics from the Fire Department came to his rescue, but when they reached him, he had already swallowed a lot of water. The paramedics applied resuscitation maneuvers, but nothing could be done for him as he had no vital signs.

After what happened, agents of the Public Ministry showed up to do the body lift and began the corresponding procedures. While Africa, whose age is unknown, she was transferred to a city hospital to receive medical attention with her family.

For its part, the government of Puerto Vallarta, headed by Jorge Antonio Quintero Alvarado, offered its condolences to the family through social networks. In this statement they recognized the bravery of the man and described him as a hero.

“With deep sorrow, today we bid farewell to a man who gave his life to save that of a little girl. This administration that I lead recognizes the courage and solidarity of César Guadalupe Chávez Medrano. And we join in the grief that overwhelms their family and friends, wishing with all our heart that the consolation and resignation come to them soon. Today leaves us a hero who will always be remembered by all Vallartans“Said the statement.

The municipal president assured that the family will be supported with whatever is needed for the funeral. However, he expressed that this will be done in a discreet way so that it is not “misinterpreted or politicized by electoral processes.”

Local media reported that Municipal Public Services will be in charge of the burial, the Puerto Vallarta DIF will take the funeral expenses and Social Development will provide the space, furniture and necessary supplies.

César Guadalupe was a waiter at the Entrada del Sol restaurant and lived on Benito Juárez Street, in the Ixtapa delegation. At the moment it is not known if his family wants to pay tributes or any recognition for the man.
