Death of Mauro Menéndez in Barbados

Overview

Following the death of 30-year-old DJ Mauro Menéndez in Barbados on July 16, his mother, actress Aylín Mujica, has released details regarding the autopsy results. The medical findings attributed his death to organ failure resulting from pneumonia, noting that a blood clot in his lung may have been exacerbated by the altitude of air travel. Mujica stated that Menéndez suffered a heart attack while on a beach.

Mujica addressed previous speculation regarding vaping, clarifying that while she has concerns about the health risks of vaping, she cannot definitively link it to his death.

As Menéndez was a U.S. citizen who died abroad, the family has been navigating administrative procedures to transport his ashes. Mujica noted that the cremation is complete and the remains are awaiting transport via diplomatic bag to Miami, where she intends to deposit them in an underwater cemetery.
