MEXICO CITY – Two members of Mexico's presidential guard drowned in a pond at President Vicente Fox's ranch, the government said Friday.
The two guards, who were not identified, were swimming together Monday when one of them developed a leg cramp and the other tried to save him, the president's office said in a news release. No other details of the accident were released.

The two guards formed part of the security detail at the president's San Cristobal ranch, located in the central state of Guanajuato.
