Nearly 50 people are known to have died due to Otis, which struck just after midnight in the early hours of Oct. 25. The late sailor's sister, Maria Jesus Castro, told Reuters that Castro had sent a video to her just after midnight, saying the sea was "getting very ugly." Looking down at his coffin, she added, "Look at where the ship is, there are no signs of the ship, and look, my love, look where he is." She related how authorities told her that Castro's body had been admitted to a morgue in Acapulco on Oct. 27, seven days before the family was contacted.

[1/5] Damaged boats are seen at the Yates Club, in the aftermath of Hurricane Otis, in Acapulco, Mexico, October 30, 2023. Her elder brother, a boat captain, was on a separate vessel of which there has been no sign since the hurricane, she said. The missing relatives went to the boats because they had orders from their bosses to look after them, Saravia said. Still, the number of people reported missing has been steadily ticking up, and authorities have so far given few details about the dead and injured in Acapulco. On Wednesday, the Guerrero state government said 58 people were unaccounted for since the hurricane roared in.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Officials in Mexico said Monday that three foreign residents were among at least 45 people killed when Hurricane Otis hit the resort city of Acapulco last week. Meanwhile, the Navy said the search effort will now focus on finding possible bodies among the 29 boats known to have sunk in Acapulco Bay the night the hurricane hit. The government reported Sunday that at least 48 people died when Category 5 Hurricane Otis slammed into Mexico’s southern Pacific coast, most of them in Acapulco. In Acapulco, families held funerals for the dead on Sunday and continued the search for essentials while government workers and volunteers cleared streets clogged with muck and debris left by the hurricane. “There are many, many people here at the (morgue) that are entire families; families of six, families of four, even eight people,” she said.
