Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco – A 41-year-old foreign man tragically lost his life after falling from the seventh floor of the Loft 268 Building in Puerto Vallarta. The incident occurred at approximately 1:00 p.m., prompting an immediate response from local authorities and emergency services.
According to official reports, the fall was reported to emergency services, leading elements of the Tourist Police, headed by Officer Luis Alexander Pérez Pérez (unit PV-414), to arrive at the scene to initiate the initial investigation. Civil Protection personnel (PC-15), under the command of Second Officer Rolando Villaseñor García, and firefighters from unit B-98, led by First Officer Gerardo Garciabada, also responded to the emergency.
