A man from Palma Soriano identified as Leonel Naranjo González He died in Santiago de Cuba after accidentally ingesting acid.
Local journalist Yosmany Mayeta stated on Facebook that the incident occurred in the 27 de Noviembre neighborhood, Palma Soriano, when the victim, known as Chungo, “accidentally” ingested a bottle of acid that was kept in the refrigerator of his home.
“He came home thirsty and went to the cold and he made a mistake and instead of grabbing a bottle of water, he grabbed a bottle of acid and that’s what he took,” said a close source.
He assures that the man, who was dedicated to doing business, died shortly after.
Yuleydis Benitez, a friend of Chungo, expressed her shock at the sudden death from Chungo, whom he had greeted the day before.
Accidents of this type are not uncommon in Cuba, especially with children accidentally ingesting chlorine.
Last year a Cuban family was asking for help for a girl who took acid and he had been waiting for years for an operation, but there were no surgeons on the island.
Georgina Rosillo shared the sad story of her almost 11-year-old grandniece, named Jade Stefani Mendoza González, who at two years old accidentally ingested acid and that is why she can only feed herself with tubes, she cannot eat anything through the mouth.
