Estefany Judith Ramírez, a 21-year-old Red Cross paramedic, was found dead in Abasolo, Guanajuato.

Family members, friends, and colleagues from the Red Cross started a campaign to locate her, spreading her bulletin through various media.
The tragic news of Estefany's death was confirmed by her family through social media, where her colleagues also expressed farewell messages.
