I tried to find one thinking that dying with a hammock around your neck would be a very weird thing worth of first page. I was so wrong...
It seems that a lot of people commit suicide using hammocks. Most news bits come from Mexico where it seems that the suicide rates are skyrocketing lately.
I couldn't find one matching the picture. I found teens, males too young to look like that in drag, an old guy that could have been but it was a terrace with a fence all around (where the hammock was hanged) and the picture looks like a patio. The closest one is a woman 46 years old, the one in the picture looks older but it could be because she was an alcoholic like her husband who died of cirrhosis.
"MÉRIDA, Yuc.- Una persona más se agregó ayer a la larga lista de suicidios al ahorcarse con una hamaca. Con éste suman 84 casos en Yucatán en lo que va del año.
María Margarita del Carmen May Cel, de 46 años de edad, se quitó la vida ayer en el interior del departamento número 9 de la calle 66 por 103 y 105 de la colonia Melitón Salazar, donde alguna vez funcionó la zona de tolerancia. Al parecer, uno de sus hijos descubrió a su madre "colgada".
Según los primeros informes, la mujer ya estaba cansada de vivir "sola", pues hace un par de meses falleció su esposo a causa de una cirrosis hepática, pues al igual que la señora, era bebedor consuetudinario.
Al lugar arribaron paramédicos de una ambulancia de la SSP, quienes ya nada pudieron hacer, sólo dar parte a la autoridad competente, pues la mujer ya tenía unas dos horas pendiendo del hamaquero.
Al final se presentó personal de la PGJE, cuyos químicos, fotógrafos, médicos, criminalistas y demás hicieron su labor y culminaron con el traslado del cuerpo para los exámenes de rigor. La suicida dejó en la orfandad a seis hijos."
"MÉRIDA, Yucatán.- One more person joined the long list of suicides by hanging herself with a hammock. With this one, there were 84 cases in Yucatán this year.
María Margarita del Carmen May Cel, 46, killed herself yesterday inside the appartment number 9, 66 street, between 103 and 105 in the neighborhood Melitón Salazar, where it was the "red light district" some time ago. It seems that one of her sons found her hanged.
According to the first reports, the woman was tired of living by herself, her husband died a couple months ago due to cirrhosis of the liver. He, like the deceased woman, was a consuetudinary drinker.
Paramedis from the SSP arrived but there was nothing they could do, just report to the authorities, because the woman had been for about two hours hanging from the hammock.
Finally, personnel from the PGJE (judiciary) showed up with forensics, photographers and medics, performed they duties and transported the body to the morgue for the post-mortem. The suicidal woman left six sons behind."
