OXKUTZCAB, YUCATAN.— Municipal and state agents, together with personnel from the Public Ministry, proceeded to close a rehabilitation center for people with drug addictions, one of those so-called Anexos, after an incident in which one of the inmates, only 20 years old, died in strange circumstances.
