Final words of man who died after being electrocuted in jacuzzi on holiday shared by widow

The widow of a man who tragically died after being electrocuted in a jacuzzi while on holiday has revealed the haunting final words her late husband uttered.

Lizzette Zambrano, 35, has told of her heartbreak after losing her beloved partner Jorge Guillen, 43, during a trip to a resort in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico.

The couple, from Texas, had been enjoying a break in the holiday hotspot when they climbed into a jacuzzi at the private resort just after 8:30pm on 11 June, according to officials in the state of Sonora.

Jorge simply put his foot inside of the hot tub when he fell into an electric circuit and got trapped underwater, while his wife was also jolted by the current and suffered the same ordeal.

Eyewitnesses noticed that the pair were not moving in the water and alerted emergency services before attempting to administer CPR, according to the General Prosecutor's Office.

The Good Samaritans who tried to help were also reportedly shocked by the water due to what has been described as an 'electrical discharge'.

Jorge and Lizzette were rushed to hospital following the incident, where he was sadly pronounced dead and she was left in a critical condition.

The widow has since filed a lawsuit in their home city of El Paso, Texas, for wrongful death and negligence, alleging that resort staff took 10 minutes to respond and that the hotel didn't warn guests about the dangers.

Tej Paranjpe, an attorney at PMR law - a Houston-based firm that is taking the case on - said that the incident is 'terrifying' and claimed no member of staff intervened while Jorge was 'getting continuously shocked again and again underwater'.

"There is no reason this should have happened," Paranjpe said.

"Hotels and resorts have a duty to ensure guest safety. At no point did resort staff think to engage an emergency shut-off, not to mention warn guests of a faulty, dangerous amenity."

Now Lizette has spoken out about the tragedy, saying that she believes it 'could have been prevented'.

Speaking with ABC News' Good Morning America about the loss of her husband, she tearfully said: "I still can't believe it. A very good man was taken away."

Lizette claims that faulty wiring sent a live current into the water, which caused Jorge's death.

Recalling his final words, the heartbroken widow explained: "I want somebody to take accountability for what happened to my husband and myself.

"The last thing I remember him saying is, 'Oh s**t'.

"It's the same time that I felt the first electric shock, and then it happened over and over and over, and I didn't hear him again. A lot of people jumped in but they kept jumping out because the shocks were so strong."

Lizette was dragged out of the water with a pulse before being rushed to hospital, where she then overheard nurses say that her husband 'didn't make it'.

Hot tub electrocution caused by faulty lighting and pumps is a rare occurrence, but vigilance is still key to make sure that equipment is properly taken care off, experts say.

Since the tragic incident, a GoFundMe has been set up to help with medical expenses and to repatriate Jorge's body.

It says: "Our best friends have experienced a horrible accident. Jorge had a heart of gold and was always there for family and friends. The love they shared was one for ages.

"We are asking for your help to bring him home and help with medical expenses for her."

At the time of writing, the GoFundMe has raised $56,326 (£44,606) of its $60,000 (£47,500) goal.
