MÉRIDA, YUCATAN (January 5, 2021).- A man of approximately 65 years of age of German origin committed suicide inside his house, in the Joaquín Ceballos Mimenza neighborhood, next to Tanlum. One of his relatives was the one who discovered the macabre scene.
Apparently, the man was depressed after learning that his only two daughters had died in an accident, in their homeland, and therefore would have made the fatal decision.
Mr. J.E.A.M. was discovered on Monday, Jan 4th, by relatives who came to see him, and upon entering, found him hanged inside the premises of the property located on Calle 19 (between 18 and 20) in that area of Mérida.
Help from paramedics was immediately requested, who upon arrival only confirmed that the man had already died, so police officers cordoned off the place and requested the assistance of the Forensic Medical Service.
