Mario Alberto Lugo Lara, Mario Calabazas, died from a methamphetamine overdose, informed the State Attorney General, Sara Bruna Quiñonez Estrada.

She commented that since the body did not show any signs of violence, they sent the body to be analyzed in a laboratory in Sonora.

She mentioned that a week ago they received the results and the cause of death is methamphetamine overdose.

She pointed out that the manner in which the drug was administered is unknown.

“By methamphetamine, that was the result by methamphetamine,” he expressed.

Mario Calabazas, leader of the armed group Los Calabazas of the cartel of Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, El Chapo Isidro, was found dead on August 15 in a house in the San José de las Delicias syndicate, in the municipality of Sinaloa.

Lugo Lara and Chapo Isidro clashed in that town and other mountainous areas of Sinaloa on July 28 and 29. The confrontations, burning of vehicles and homes in San José de las Delicias, led to the displacement of more than 300 people to Guamúchil.

That day, the Mazatlecos led by Chapo Isidro arrived in the town to look for Mario Calabazas. They shot at houses, some of which they burned. Two of them belonged to Lugo Lara. Residents said that, by that day, the Calabazas leader had already left.

In the following days, there were confrontations between Los Calabazas and Los Mazatlecos of the Beltrán Leyva cartel, and again cars were burned. A daughter and daughter-in-law of Lugo Lara were allegedly kidnapped.
