The mysterious death of Juan José Esparragoza Moreno, also known as 'El Azul', was reported by Mexican authorities in 2015. Various theories have arisen surrounding his death, generating speculation about the real circumstances that surrounded his end.
According to the official version, El Azul allegedly fell in his bathroom at home, which would have caused his death. Some consider it to have been simply a tragic accident, while other theories suggest a cover-up murder. There is a possibility that members of his own cartel wanted to get rid of him, as well as the idea that his rivals managed to end his life.
One more controversial hypothesis suggests that El Azul faked his death to escape from his enemies and authorities. The psychic Mhoni Vidente, known for her predictions, put an end to the mystery by revealing that El Azul died in 2015 after falling in the bathroom, stating that despite having escaped multiple bullets, he could not avoid his tragic fate.
The death of El Azul, one of the most sought-after drug traffickers in Mexico and the United States, left a void in the world of organized crime. Considered one of the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel alongside 'El Chapo' and 'El Mayo', his influence in drug trafficking, homicides, extortion, and kidnappings was significant.
Born on February 3, 1949, in Badiraguato, Sinaloa, El Azul played a relevant role in Mexican drug trafficking. He began his career as an agent of the now-defunct Federal Security Directorate before joining various cartels, culminating in the Sinaloa Cartel. His close relationship with 'El Chapo' and 'El Mayo' Zambada was crucial for the growth of these criminal organizations in the country.
