To the site, paramedics from the Red Cross and elements of the Municipal Police were immediately relocated, who confirmed the veracity of the report, as well as that the woman already lacked vital signs, so he made his way through the staff of the Expert Services and elements of the Investigating Police, who entered the property after the family allowed it.
Within a few minutes it was known that the now deceased answered the name of Blanca Lucía Castillo Mendoza, 45, known as Lucy, who was the director of TV Azteca in Zacatecas for more than a decade.
Derived from inspections and site processing, it was observed that the body had a groove and slag on the neck, as well as that the lips and hands were purple.
According to Murillo Ruiseco, it was the daughter herself (about 14 years old) of the now deceased who found her suspended from a slat of cloth tied to the cortinero in her room, from which she lowered her, leaving her in a semi-reclined and swelled position , on the floor, as this was how the experts found it.
No signs of violence were found in the body and on the site, just as everything was found in order in the room. The prosecutor also said that in the room, unnamed white pills and no prescription were found.
Likewise, no injuries were found in the body, no evidence of sexual assault, and blood and urine samples were collected.
After the body was completely detached from the ribbon, attached to the cortinero, he was transferred to the Forensic Medical Service (Semefo) for the law necropsy, which ended at around 7 p.m.
His death came just weeks after TV Azteca Zacatecas laid off 33 workers as part of an alleged restructuring process for the television.
 
After the partial closure, Castillo revealed in an interview for local media that the new situation she faced left her in a delicate position, since after 22 years of operation in the state, the company had left her with a team of only 7 people.
“I feel very sad to come to the office and be alone, to have no more of so many valuable people. We stopped being profitable for television in Mexico,” he said in an interview with Gerardo Romo.
On 29 May, TV Azteca ceased broadcasting in Zacatecas. Local programs stopped airing, while its employees announced that it was due to a restructuring that the company carried out in various states of the Republic.
