Jorge Guillen, 43, died while on a family vacation with his wife Lizzette Zambrano, 35, in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. 

After Guillen and his wife stepped into a hot tub at the Sonoran Sea Resort, Zambrano said that her husband immediately felt an electric shock in the water.

After Guillen and his wife stepped into a hot tub at the Sonoran Sea Resort, Zambrano said that her husband immediately felt an electric shock in the water 

Speaking to the outlet, she said: ‘The last thing I remember him is saying is “oh f***” – it’s the same time I felt the first electric shock, and it happened over and over and over. I didn’t hear him again. 

‘A lot of people jumped in but they kept jumping out because the shocks were so strong.’

Zambrano was pulled from the water without a pulse and taken to a hospital where she overheard nurses confirm the worst. 

She added: ‘I could hear them and one of them said “her husband didn’t make it” 

Last week it was revealed that Zambrano is suing the resort where it happened for $1 million. 

Legal documents state: ‘Immediately upon entrance into the jacuzzi, Jorge was exposed to an electrical current in the water.

‘Jorge immediately keeled over into the tub and was taken under the surface of the water.’

 Zambrano was sitting on the pool deck when she tried to help her husband and ‘…upon touching Jorge and the water, Lizette was electrically shocked and also fell into the jacuzzi,’ the suit alleged.

Zambrano was revived after being shocked but resort staff took 10 minutes to hit the Jacuzzi’s emergency shut off switch and render aid to Guillen, the documents stated.

‘Jorge was being electrocuted and drowned under water for 10 minutes,’ according to the suit. 

Speaking with ABC, she added: ‘I want somebody to take accountability for what happened to my husband and myself’. 

Footage taken from one of the resort’s rooms captured the horrifying aftermath of the incident. 

Eyewitnesses can be seen standing around the hot tub, with one woman performing CPR and others appearing shocked as they tried to render aid.

‘There is no reason this should have happened,’ Zambrano’s lawyer Tej 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.’

The suit was filed in El Paso County, Texas, where the couple resided.
