The victim was identified as Alfonso C., 34 years old, originally from #Aguascalientes , who was on vacation in the Oaxacan Coast region.
The discovery occurred approximately one mile from the coast and was made by personnel from the Secretariat of the Navy, during a search operation coordinated with Municipal Civil Protection, the State Attorney General's Office and ZOFEMAT.
The body was recovered and handed over to the appropriate authorities for legal proceedings and subsequent notification to family members.
A call for caution
Authorities reiterated their call to tourists and locals to take extra precautions when entering the sea, due to the presence of rip currents and high waves that have been recorded on beaches along the coast in recent days.
They recommend respecting warning flags, not swimming in secluded areas, and following the instructions of lifeguards and Civil Protection.

Enjoying the sea also involves responsibility.
