Investigators said Monday that another autopsy of a young woman whose mysterious death shocked Mexico has shown that she died of asphyxia by suffocation due to “obstruction of respiratory orifices.”
The autopsy results did not specify what had blocked her nose and mouth. The 18-year-old Debanhi Escobar was found dead in April in a partly-filled underground water holding tank of a motel near the northern city of Monterrey.
Dr. Felipe Takajashi, the head of Mexico City’s forensic service, said the latest autopsy on the woman’s exhumed body showed no signs . . .
