Four children under the age of 11, were found dead, “hugging each other” after their mum went out to buy pizza.
The little ones were alone when a suspected short circuit caused the blaze. Victoria Sarai Torres Santiago, two, Josué Eliseo Torres Santiago, four, Yamilet Zamora Santiago, eight, and Josira Ariadne Zamora Santiago, 11 all died in the fire. Mum Sarai Santiago García, was on her way to pick up a pizza and dad Eliseo Torres Salce, who is a trucker, was out of town on an assignment.
It is believed the children couldn’t escape the house because of furniture blocking their way. When neighbours saw smoke rising from the property, they called the emergency services. After the neighbours heard the cries they managed to break a hole in a wall using hammers and sledgehammers.

Paramedics arrived on the scene in Reynosa, Mexico, minutes later but were unable to revive the youngsters on the afternoon. It’s reported that young Josira was hugging her siblings as they died. By the time mum, Sarai, rushed home after hearing about the fire her children were dead. Autopsies showed they died from smoke inhalation.

I worked, lived, and suffered so they would lack for nothing and unfortunately they’re now gone, a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone. And let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
