MONTERREY, Mexico – Police in the northern state of Durango have found the body of a Web site editor who had been missing since October, officials said Wednesday.
The body of Guevara Guevara, 54, and the motorcycle he was riding were found by officers Saturday at the bottom of ravine in Durango, said Ruben Lopez, a spokesman for Durango state investigators.
Lopez said an autopsy found that the blows on Guevara's body were caused after he tumbled down an 82-feet-deep (25-meter) ravine.
“The investigation is ongoing but everything points to an accident because he was wearing a watch and had other personal items on him,” Lopez said.
Guevara was last heard from Oct. 8 when he called his girlfriend to tell her he was about to ride into the border state of Chihuahua along with a group of motorcyclists.
Guevara, who lived in the central city of Guadalajara, worked as online editor of Siglo 21, a California-based Spanish weekly. He was riding his Yamaha motorcycle to the town of Creel, in the border state of Chihuahua, where he planned to cover an international meeting of motorcyclists, but he didn't reach his destination.
