A man found dead early Monday, June 15 in Riberas del Pilar appears to have been the victim of a freak accident attributed to excessive drinking and bad weather.
The deceased has been identified as Ajijic resident Martin Anguiano Morales, 41. His corpse was discovered lying face down on Paseo de la Ribera, near the Mirasol subdivision, with a plastic bag containing an alcoholic substance at his side.
Although the official autopsy results were not available at press time, officials at the Ministerio Público (district attorney’s office) attributed the cause of death to asphyxia from the aspiration of fluid. Presumably, Anguiano passed out in the street during a drinking binge, tumbling face first into a pot hole. A storm blew while he was unconscious, filling the rut with a fatal dose of rain water.
