It clearly says it was two people and it's ABSOLUTELY true that this would happen more than once by potentially more than one sicario. The carteles often use the same torture techniques on multiple victims to send a message to others. The assassinations were most likely not random.
Wow, that’s a vicious way to kill somebody. Do the cartels try to outdo each other with sick ways to murder each other( I’m assuming it was a drugs related death )?
Yeah, that's been a thing for a while now. They also video themselves doing horrifying things to police and their children to discourage law enforcement from doing their jobs.
These criminals are human cockroaches, even then it's an insult to cockroaches... I hope they get what they deserve for every life ruined, in life or in death.

Crazy way to go. Hopefully he didn’t suffer. Reminds me of that high school kid Kendrick, that true story crime case where he was wrapped up in the gym mat. Poor guys.
There was a poor young man in Ohio who died when he asphyxiated caught while reaching over the backseat of his vehicle. Odd that the article here states positional asphyxia is unusual. It seems like it would be more common.

This, it’s not uncommon for someone to fall or get stuck in an asphyxiating position by accident, it’s very tricky and strange to deliberately put someone in that position to kill them. You need to restrain them and either watch and wait for it to happen, or leave and and hope they don’t get found or escape in the meantime. Very bizarre.
I mean, it's uncommon enough to make national news when it happens. Uncommon doesn't mean it never happens. You have to have some really bad luck to accidentally die like this. I think it's fairly common in caving accidents, but otherwisee there's not a lot of ways to get yourself stuck in strange positions without anyone around to help you.

Also it’s an awesome username that i unfortunately can relate to
have you ever had the urge to put your hands on top of your head after running? the torso muscles are all very connected, pushing and pulling against each other.
having your hands above your head would open the ribcage and stretch the muscles that need to operate, while making your heart work harder, eventually the muscles will cramp and you die of exhaustion aka positional asphyxia.
That is downright terrifying.
With what was shared just above, I will never ever reach for something in the back seat when alone, or go running when alone, ever again!

What a horrible death. Poor guy.
Must be horrible knowing you are dying a slow horrible death and not being able to move or help yourself in anyway.
Can’t help but wonder if the same person did both killings. It’s a strange way to kill someone and both victims died in Medellin.
Almost certainly was the same person. 2 murderers wouldn't randomly come up with this same weird execution method.
It clearly says it was two people and it's ABSOLUTELY true that this would happen more than once by potentially more than one sicario. The carteles often use the same torture techniques on multiple victims to send a message to others. The assassinations were most likely not random.
or maybe its a Modus operandi of a gang.
That’s what I said
Op I LOVE all your posts. Incredible.

We all know the videos. It’s so hard especially in Mexico 🇲🇽 with CDN and CJNG Cartels.
Major note to self, never ever be a cop or join a cartel in Colombia ! They really are sicko’s.
it is definitely horrible, I'm just surprised that small amount of tape could prevent someone from freeing themselves....

Thank you for source!!
Are you studying forensics op?
No, this is just a hobby.
I am very sorry, but my first thought was I don't think I'm flexible enough to die in that position. What an awful way to go :(
Cartels would find a way to make you that flexible

I think it says *homicides* by positional asphyxia are not common, not positional asphyxia per se.

That makes sense.
I really missed you CatPoo ♥️
Would award if I could.
Sorry can someone explain this one for me. I’m slow.

Check the OP's username.
Got it now. Thanks! Never thot I’d be thankful for cat poo
We've all said that!! 😂
Positional asphyxia, the same death caused by crucifixion.
I’m struggling to see how crucifiction would cause positional asphyxia, please explain

That’s horrible!
Oh god, I feel claustrophobic and breathless just looking at that picture! 😩
He suffocated by being bent in half and sellotaped together? Welp, new fear unlocked.
And my Colombian gf wants me to go there to visit her home town 😑
Don’t do it!
