Police have not ruled out foul play during their investigation.

The beauty influencer was staying at the Coco Resort & Villas Hotel with family and friends in Motul, west of Cancun, Mexico.

She had been chatting with them around the cenote-style pool before they made their way to bed at around midnight.

Luz was left alone before she was later seen floating lifeless in the hotel pool.

The tragic athlete was retrieved from the water and emergency services were called immediately, according to NeedToKnow.

Paramedics rushed to the scene but could do nothing to save the young woman’s life.

The area was then cordoned off by authorities as officials from the Attorney General’s Office arrived to conduct a preliminary investigation.

According to local reports, the bodybuilder had actually received threatening banners which were hung outside her gym in Merida.

These appeared just two weeks before her death.

Luz removed the signs herself and destroyed them – but never informed police of the suspicious ordeal.

Similarly, in 2017, thugs threatened her and her then-partner Chiri Roberto, a former state prosecutor.

In 2023, there was an accident at her gym where a barbell fell on a young man, causing his death, reportedly due to a trainer’s negligence.

But cops are now probing whether any of these deaths could be related to the passing of Luz on Sunday.

The bombshell bodybuilder was the vice president of the Yucatecan Association of Bodybuilding and Fitness (AFFEY).

She owned her own gym in Merida and sponsored a Bodybuilding Tournament in Motul.

And she was crowned Fitness Champion at the 2017 Mister Mexico bodybuilding contest.

In addition to her accomplishments, she excelled in the female bikini category at the Mr. Olympia Amateur contest in Spain and was named queen of the Motul Carnival in 2024.

AFFEY president Evangelina Cimé Mézquita mourned the decorated athlete and model on Facebook.

She said: “Sometimes it’s impossible to understand why certain things happen.

“We will miss you. Your boundless joy, your simple manner.

“May God comfort your entire family.”
