The body of photojournalist Raul Lopez Mendoza, was located this morning
in colonia Xangari of this capital city of Michoacán, inside
a light gray colored vehicle with Mexico City plates.

In
the vehicle the journalist’s press pass
was also located, issued by the
newspaper “Cambio de Michoacán” where he
was employed. The newspaper is considered the most influential in the state of Michoacán.
Mendoza
López disappeared last Thursday and had not been heard from since then, nor any
information or demands sent to his workplace,
family or friends. The vehicle
was abandoned with the body on Huacúsecha Street.
As
of yet, the cause of death have not been determined.
Attacks
against the press in In Michoacán attacks have increased, at least 10 cases of physical and threatening aggression
in the past three months, mainly from
the authorities and public security forces. Just last week it was announced the
dismissal of a state trooper who assaulted a local photographer for the newspaper
La Voz de Michoacán; however, another photographer of the same newspaper was also fired last week
after reporting the assault of a police.
I'm so sorry for the man and his family.
ReplyDeleteits a deadly job, someone has to do it!
ReplyDeleteMichoacan is entrenched with evil! Good will overcome eventually!!! The tide will soon turn!
ReplyDeleteA quien putos se le ocurre ser reportero...
ReplyDeleteNobody needs to know your business, specially the polizetas, you are asking for it, really, and el castillo de cagada is not giving too many breaks anymore.
Courageous should be saved for another day...
DONT SNITCH!
ReplyDeleteI'm snitchin, I got so many Michuacanos and locked up it's funny.

ReplyDeleteYeah, it depends what you mean by "soon" :-)
Hola JA
ReplyDeleteI saw that...but the problem I have with it is that they were looking for him and his car for days. it was found on a busy street in the state capital, something is off. they said, within 2 hrs BTW he died of swallowing something causing his airway to block. sounds reasonable. but, would a person choking to death stay in their car? I don't know.
Probably was drunk and stopped for some late night tacos. I do it after a night of drinking. He must have been really trashed to choke on some tacos.
DeleteThe CIA's men who talk with sheep did this, they are tired of leaving proof behind, no more double taps a la gary webb or barry seal, and they still deny that they have the weapon of el evil eye, they diabolic...
ReplyDeleteWhile violence begets violence, someone needs to beat tuta like a 'borrowed mule'. With respect to the tragic death of Sr. Lopez Mendoza, many famous celebrities (Hendrix/Joplin/many others have expired after consuming alcohol along with 'sleepers' and silently aspirating their vomit and silently choking to death. Very sad. Thank you Chivis, et. al. for your heroic and disciplined reporting.
ReplyDeleteChivis,
ReplyDeleteYou make a lot of sense. I haven't checked the details of the death nor have followed the investigation. I simply did a quick Google search and found that. Something definitely looks fishy here...
"its a deadly job, someone has to do it! "
ReplyDeleteDude,no they don't have to do it.
But they still do,that's what makes some of them different and admirable..
And natural causes?If it wasn't where it is,maybe.But Michoacan?
They chop politicians up in broad daylight,,,and journalists...No problem..
Who knows?
I have been in Mexico too long, I never give authorities a pass, if something stinks I just call it a lie :)
ReplyDeleteIn this case, it is illogical. I am sure there is a bigger story here.
in Michoacan reporters are being harassed badly, by narcos and the gob.
even in the Tuta video, the reporters that are friendly and work with Tuta say some templarios have been taking their blackberries, and iphones
but not in their car.
ReplyDeleteshe is correct they had been looking for him and his car for days
Ora la bebes o la derramas, dijo el supersabio EL FERRAS
ReplyDeleteNow you drink it or you spill it, said super wiseman EL FERRAS...
--Was he an habitual drinker? I have seen like 20 guys pass out from drinking some michoacan moonshine, after one shot each, it was ugly with the puke...
