MEXICO CITY - A 16-year-old U.S. tourist fell 1,000 feet to his death at an abandoned mine in Witnesses told police that Taylor Crane tried to jump over the 10-foot-wide shaft of the Cinco Senores mine in Guanajuato state and fell in Friday, said Jose Felix Velazquez, a spokesman for police in San Luis de la Paz, where the mine is located.
Felix Velazquez said about 40 searchers have been working on the recovery effort, which has been complicated because the mine is flooded with water that "has a lot of arsenic and lead, and that makes it hard to breath down there."
He said Crane was from Pennsylvania. MagazineLane.com
