Model Killed After Clothes Get Tangled In High-Speed Train During Photoshoot
Model Cinthya Nayeli Higareda Bermejo dried a tragic death during a photoshoot. She was around 30 years old.
The Venezuelan model was reportedly standing too close to the train tracks in Zacoalco de Torres in Western Mexico for a photoshoot last weekend when her clothes were sucked in by the passing high-speed train, according to The U.S. Sun. She was killed instantly.
After the freak accident, emergency services were reportedly called to the scene and her body was removed from the tracks.
Per Azteca Noticias, the train that killed Bermejo was a freight train. The outlet noted that the model "did not calculate the distance and was hit."
After her body was removed from the tracks, it was transferred to the forensic medical service in Ciudad Guzman, South of Jalisco, for an autopsy and will reportedly remain there until Tuesday.
Meanwhile, a witness at the scene said, "The force apparently managed to pull her clothes towards [the train] and that's what caused her death."
The investigation into Bermejo's death is still ongoing.

Last April, Landy Parraga Goyburo was fired with a gun at a restaurant in Quevedo, Ecuador, where she was having lunch. Before the attack, she reportedly gave away her location via an Instagram post.
While it was not confirmed why she was killed, there were speculations that the shooting was related to her alleged connection to prominent drug trafficker Leandro Norero.
In the same month but in another part of the world, Iraqi social media influencer Om Fahad was shot dead outside her home in Zayouna, Baghdad.
The shooting came after Fahad was imprisoned for six months for "the crime of producing and publishing several films and videos containing obscene and indecent language, violating public decency and morals."
