According to information, the tragedy occurred in the district of Barranquillas in Tancítaro, Mexico where the final hours of Christ were being recreated in the play known as the ‘Viacrucis de Jesús,’ as part of the Easter celebration.

Before the crowd could realize what was happening and rushed to his aid, he had stopped breathing.

He died of asphyxiation.

The victim was taken to a nearby clinic in a van which drove past a Civil Protection ambulance on the journey.

The crew was flagged down and tried to revive him but without success.

A full investigation is now underway.
