For those of you who cave in Mexico, this is a translation of a post in the Iztaxochitla forum.
In the afternoon of August 18 the Mexican Red Crosss speleo rescue in San Luis Potosi and the Mexican speleo rescue was alerted about an emergency situation in a cave in the "Valle de los Fantasmas" (Ghost Valley) area.
The cadaver of an adult (40 - 45 years old) was rescued estimating he had been there for about 24 hours after falling into the Sotano de la Cochera which is approx. 35 meters deep.
So far, no one knows who he is or how he fell. It is believed he was definitely not a caver because of the clothing he was wearing and the fact that no gear was found. A full report will be available in a couple of days.
