A 44-year-old CNTE teacher died Tuesday morning, May 26, after suffering a presumed heart attack in the protest camp set up on 5 de Mayo street.
Officers from the Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana were alerted to an unconscious man inside the protest camp. ERUM paramedics confirmed he showed no vital signs.
The SSC preliminary report indicates the likely cause was acute myocardial infarction. The union representative from Delegación DI29 provided identification details of the deceased and authorities notified the Ministerio Público.
Teachers have kept the camp in the area after being pushed back from the Zócalo by security forces the previous day. The CNTE demands the repeal of the 2007 ISSSTE Law and better wages and working conditions.
