Netflix PA Carlos Muñoz Portal was killed while he was looking for a location to film the new season of Narcos in Mexico. The bullet-riddled body was found in the trunk of his car on a road of San Bartolomé, in the municipality of Temascalapa, a remote area near the border with Hidalgo state, which is said to be one of the most dangerous of Mexico. Muñoz, 37, had been working for the film industry for ten years and participated in the filming of several American successful movies, including Apocalypto and Spectre. The fourth season of the successful series will tell the Juárez Cartel, an infamous criminal organisation led by Amado Carrillo, better known as El Señor de Los Cielos (The Lord of the Skies), played by actor José María Yazpik. The circumstances that brought to Muñoz’s death are still unclear. A friend of his stated: “Maybe they thought he was collecting information and they started tracking him in a car”. The authorities grope in the dark. Claudio Barrera, a spokesperson for the Attorney General of the State of Mexico, confirmed that there are no witnesses to his death, while Netflix sent its condolences to his family.
