Reports are coming in that the natural gas explosion at a Mexican resort which claimed the lives of two Drumheller residents is now being investigated criminally.
Chris and his nine-year-old son John Charmont were killed in the explosion at the Grand Riviera Princess Hotel in Playa del Carmen on Sunday morning as their family was halfway through a two week vacation.
The two were among five Canadians killed, many more wounded, in what was initially pinned as a natural gas explosion because of decaying matter in a nearby swamp.
Reports in Mexian media say the region's governor wants criminal charges to be laid against the hotel, if investigators find faulty construction is to blame.
