Four people died during celebrations in Mexico City following Mexico's victory over Ecuador in the 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout round. The fatalities occurred near the Angel of Independence monument where thousands had gathered to celebrate.
Two women and one man were found unconscious on streets near the monument. They were 48, 44, and 19 years old and died of asphyxiation. Authorities reported no further details on the circumstances of their deaths.
A 30-year-old man was treated for an epileptic seizure, convulsions, and gastrointestinal bleeding. He died later in hospital from cardiorespiratory arrest. Emergency crews responded to reports of the three unconscious people, but they had already died.
