7 Die in Brewery in Mexico City

7 die in brewery. Seven workers have died while cleaning a tank at a brewery in Mexico City.

A spokeswoman for Mexico City prosecutors says the accident occurred on Sunday and that investigators are looking into whether the Grupo Modelo workers died from inhaling toxic fumes.

Building manager Francisco Lopez Bravo told local media the workers were trapped inside the cistern while doing maintenance work.

Lopez Bravo said there are no other risks at the brewery and that it continued to operate on Sunday.

Anheuser-Busch InBev has been trying to take over the half it doesn’t already own of Grupo Modelo, which makes Corona and other popular beers, since June.
