Overview
- Paola Márquez, a 30-year-old influencer with more than 2 million followers, was found dead in her Colonia Virreyes apartment on May 30 and paramedics confirmed her death at the scene.
- The Fiscalía General del Estado de San Luis Potosí has an open investigation but has not published autopsy, toxicology, or final forensic findings.
- Her father, Hércules Márquez, confirmed the death, organized wake and funeral rites in Huichihuaya, and said Paola had previously told him she “did not want to be in this life.”
- A short livestream clip that circulated after her death — in which Paola asks “¿Por qué está mi puerta abierta?” and mentions a package — and a TikTok post by a user claiming to be a cousin have driven competing online theories.
- Journalists and commentators are urging the family and authorities to demand and disclose detailed forensic work, phone and message reviews, and scene analyses to clarify whether the death was self-inflicted or involves other factors.
