Octuplets Die
(N.Z.P^A.-Jtauter— •Copyright) MEXICO CITY, March 12. An Inconsolable mother was told of the death of her last surviving octuplet, today. Maria Teresa Lopex de Sepulveda, aged 21, and her husband, Genaro Sepulveda, aged 24, broke down and wept together at the 20th of November Hospital where their almost unique offspring lost their battle for life today. Specialists described it as “almost miraculous” that the octuplets were all born alive —two months prematurely—and that the last of them should hsve lived as long as 14 hours after birth.
