The 36-year-old Mexican phenomenon Luz María Barrera Agatón was found dead in a hotel where she was on vacation. The possibility of murder is being investigated in relation to Agatón's death, who had a threatening banner hung in front of the gym two weeks before her death.
Mexican social media influencer and bodybuilder Luz María Barrera Agatón was found dead at a hotel where she was vacationing with her family. The lifeless body of the 36-year-old young woman was discovered at the bottom of the hotel swimming pool. An investigation has been launched into Agatón's death, which was revealed to have been threatened weeks before her death.
MURDER POSSIBILITY UNDER INVESTIGATION
Agatón, who was staying at the Coco Resort & Villas Hotel in the city of Motul, located west of Cancún in Mexico's Yucatán state, spent the night by the pool with her family and friends. After being left alone after midnight, Agatón was not heard from for a long time, prompting her relatives to start searching in the morning hours. The family, who found her lifeless body in the pool, immediately notified the health teams, but it was determined that Agatón had already passed away. Police teams are not ruling out the possibility that the incident could be a murder.
THREATENING BANNER HUNG IN FRONT OF GYM
It was learned that a threatening banner was hung in front of Agatón's gym in the city of Merida, Mexico, two weeks before her death. It is claimed that the young woman removed and destroyed this banner with her own hands but did not report the situation to the authorities.
Agatón, who faced threats in 2017, had a former prosecutor as her boyfriend at that time, named Chiri Roberto. Additionally, in 2023, a young man died after being trapped under a barbell at Agatón's gym. It was alleged that the incident occurred due to the trainer's negligence. Authorities are investigating whether there is a connection between these incidents and Agatón's death.
A CAREER FILLED WITH ACHIEVEMENTS
Agatón, who is the vice president of the Yucatán Bodybuilding and Fitness Association (YAFFEY), was the Fitness Champion in the "Mister Mexico" competition in 2017. The successful athlete, who was also crowned the Queen of the Motul Carnival last year, had also achieved first place in the bikini category at the Mr. Olympia Amateur competition in Spain.
