While still deadly, Semana Santa (Easter Holy Week) yielded fewer fatalities than the year before. The holiday week, which most people have off from work, has statistically higher death rates than the rest of the year.

According to the Judicial Investigation Police, 66 people died as opposed to 75 the year before.

The figure includes more fatalities than the Red Cross tally reported yesterday, which only includes “on site” deaths attended to by Red Cross workers.

During Semana Santa there were 22 fatal traffic accidents, 16 murders, 11 drownings and three suicides.

Of the deaths, only 11 are under investigation by the police, a press release states.
