So surreal!
It's sad news for fans of the Mexican Lucha Mini stars, twin brothers Alberto and Alejandro Jimenez, known as La Parkita and El Espectrito Jr.
The two were found dead in their hotel room in Mexico City. The brothers, 35, were checking into a hotel on Sunday night after a show when they were reportedly approached by two prostitutes.
After hotel staff noticed the women leave the room hours later, but didn't spot the wrestlers, they went to go check on them. The two luchadores were found lifeless, lying in the beds.
Reports are being released that the hookers belong to Las Goteras (meaning The Drops) which is a gang of whores that robes their clients after making them pass out by drugging their drinks.
Unfortunately, the Jimenez brothers overdosed on the drugs which normally don't kill men, but officials believe because the brothers were of such small size, the dose was fatal to them.
Alcohol containers were also found in the room but the ladies are still missing.
Cops are looking for the two females and luckily have found finger prints in the room which they believe they can match to the hookers.
Sad.
Thanks for posting this. The story is very sad yet somehow appropriate for what I am trying to do with this writing project. To me, Lucha Libre is a celebration of showmanship and storytelling, very upbeat, even in its darker themes. This is evident in the original films and will hopefully hold true when I have finished the screenplay. My heart goes out to these "minis" and their families.
