He was discovered with a plastic bag over his head, while his feet and hands were bound. According to various Mexican media, his battered body was found December 5th at a place called El Sapo, “The Toad”. His father, Julio Efrén Aquino Hernández identified his body.

On December 3rd the tortured body of popular singer Sergio Gomez was found after he had been missing overnight, apparently on a jaunt to resort-town Puerto Vallarta. According to the attorney general’s office of Michoacan on Mexico’s Pacific coast, Gomez was subjected to a severe beating, while burns were found on his legs. He also showed signs of asphixia.
