After Guillen and his wife got into a hot tub at the Sonoran Sea Resort, Zambrano said her husband immediately felt an electric shock in the water
Speaking to the outlet, she said: ‘The last thing I remember him saying is “oh f***” – it was the same time I felt the first electric shock, and it happened over and over again. I didn’t hear him again.
“A lot of people jumped in, but they kept jumping out because the shocks were so strong.”
Zambrano was pulled from the water without a pulse and taken to a hospital, where she heard nurses confirm the worst.
She added: ‘I could hear them and one of them said ‘her husband didn’t make it’
Last week it was revealed that Zambrano is suing the resort where it happened for $1 million.
Legal documents state: ‘Immediately upon entering the jacuzzi, Jorge was exposed to electrical current in the water.
‘Jorge immediately fell into the tub and was brought below the surface of the water.’
Zambrano was sitting on the pool deck when she tried to help her husband and “…when she touched Jorge and the water, Lizette received an electric shock and also fell into the jacuzzi,” the complaint alleged.

The incident happened at a resort in Puerto Penasco, Sonora state, Mexico
Zambrano was revived after being shocked, but it took resort staff 10 minutes to press the jacuzzi’s emergency stop switch and render aid to Guillen, the documents said.
“Jorge was electrocuted and drowned underwater for ten minutes,” the complaint said.
Speaking to ABC, she added: ‘I want someone to take responsibility for what happened to my husband and myself.’
Footage from one of the resort’s rooms captured the horrific aftermath of the incident.
Eyewitnesses can be seen standing around the hot tub, with one woman performing CPR and others appearing shocked as they try to render aid.
Helpless holidaymakers watched in horror as they tried to help the couple, according to a video taken from a hotel balcony
“There is no reason why this should have happened,” said Zambrano’s attorney Tej Paranjpe.
‘Hotels and resorts have a duty to ensure the safety of their guests. At no time did the resort staff think to initiate an emergency shutdown, not to mention alert guests to a defective, dangerous facility.”
The lawsuit was filed in El Paso County, Texas, where the couple lived.
DailyMail.com has contacted the resort for comment.
