Who is Luz María Barrera Agatón, the beauty influencer found dead in swimming pool?
Luz María Barrera Agatón, a 36-year-old renowned bodybuilder and beauty influencer from Mexico, was tragically discovered lifeless in a hotel swimming pool in Motul, Quintana Roo, on Sunday morning.
She had been vacationing with family and friends at the Coco Resort & Villas Hotel, located west of Cancun. Earlier in the evening, she had been seen socializing around the cenote-style pool before retiring to her room around midnight. Her body was found hours later, and despite efforts by paramedics, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have initiated an investigation into her death and have not ruled out foul play.
Local reports indicate that just two weeks prior to her passing, threatening banners were discovered outside her gym in Merida, Yucatán. Luz María reportedly removed the signs herself and did not inform the police. In 2017, she and her then-partner, Chiri Roberto, a former state prosecutor, were also targeted with threats.
Additionally, her gym was the site of a tragic accident in 2023 when a barbell fell on a young man, allegedly due to a trainer's negligence.

Man gets life term for raping Dalit woman, sharing obscene photos
Agra: A 38-year-old man was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a Dalit woman and circulating her obscene photos to her relatives. The SC/ST court in Agra, presided over by Judge Pushkar Upadhyay, also imposed a fine of ₹90,000 on the convict. Additional district govt counsel (ADGC) Hemant Dixit said on Saturday that the 30-year-old woman's mother, a farmer, had filed a police complaint against the accused in March 2022. "My daughter and the man were friends and used to speak regularly. After her engagement, we asked her to stop talking to him. But around Jan 2021, he convinced her to meet him one last time. During that meeting, he took obscene photos of her and forcefully did wrong things. My daughter returned home and told me everything. Out of shame, we didn't report it and got her married," the mother told the court during the trial. She added, "After the wedding, the man began sending my daughter's obscene photos to our relatives, including to the mobile phone of my brother-in-law's son-in-law. The pictures were sent to many relatives." Based on the FIR, police booked the accused under IPC sections 376 (rape), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace), 506 (criminal intimidation), 509 (insulting the modesty of a woman), along with section 67 of the IT Act and relevant provisions of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa Prices in Dubai Might Be Lower Than You Think!

Students' cooperation essential to dismantle drug network: DCP
Mangaluru: Drug dealers have been targeting students. Programmes need to be organised to create awareness among students to build an addiction-free society, said Mithun HN, deputy commissioner of police (law and order). He was speaking at an Addiction-Free Day event held on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Mahanta Shivayogi Swamiji at the Roshni Nilaya School of Social Work auditorium on Saturday. The programme was organised jointly by the district administration, Dakshina Kannada zilla panchayat, health and family welfare department, information and public relations department, Karnataka State Temperance Board, and School of Social Work, Roshni Nilaya (Autonomous). The DCP emphasised the need for student cooperation to dismantle drug distribution networks. "If students experience mental distress, they should seek medical advice instead of falling into bad habits. The QR codes have been installed in every school and college campus, allowing individuals to scan and provide information to help rescue those involved in addictions from these networks," he said. Joachim Stany Alvares, chairman of the Karnataka Konkani Sahitya Academy, said that in the current era, young people are increasingly drawn to addictions that negatively impact their physical and mental health. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like IBM and AWS: Driving manufacturing excellence with SAP on AWS Cloud - SAP Transformation CIO | AWS Undo In such a scenario, the celebration of Addiction-Free Day is a meaningful event to raise awareness among the youth on the issue, he said.
