Oaxaca MX
19 year old Maria Del Jesus Crispin Uscanga was under house arrest for drug problems. According to her parents, she broke out and escaped around 9pm. They went after her, thinking she was going to buy or steal drugs from somewhere, but did not find her.
To their dismay, she was discovered a couple of hours later in the yard of an unoccupied house just down the street, hanging from a tree near the patio.
Police said there were no signs of violence on her body and the scene as well as physical characteristics of her body strongly indicated suicide. Her family did not dispute the findings. She did not leave a note. Her death occurred five days after her 19th birthday.
Some of the images were censored at the source. I was unable to find replacements but included the censored images here in order to present the most complete picture of the scene.

Mexico doesn't usually shy away from blurring images. I wonder why so suddenly they changed. Poor girl, I hope she finds peace as well as her family.

They never used to blur anything back in the Alarma! and Nuevo Alarma! days. It started getting prevalent about ten years ago and has increased gradually ever since. They have some very weird standards for it, though.
Female nudity at crime scenes is almost always blurred now. Postmortem images of men are usually left uncensored unless the gore is extreme. Women are censored about twice as often as men, particularly faces/eyes, nudity, and bodily fluids. Blood/viscera is frequently censored and if the photographer shoots photos of them having wet themselves, urine is usually censored as well. Minors are usually censored.
Some States in Mexico are more aggressive about it than others. In some, journalists and bloggers can be prosecuted for displaying uncensored images of dead females. But not males.

I remember seeing a ton of male corpses on newspapers as a child and titled usually “supposed (cause of death) man/woman” and asking people to call a number if they recognize them. I haven't been home in decades so I haven't been keeping up with local medias out there I just saw this post and thought it was weird how blurry it was especially since it's from Oaxaca, MEX.

Yeah, I used to get a lot from the Nota Roja sections in Oaxaca. It was never censored and always reliable. But most of those old editors have died off and changing laws and social standards have made the death imagery a lot rarer these days.
I should dig into my older files sometime and post some cases from the 2005-2012 era, where nothing was ever censored.
As for this post, I don't usually bother posting unless at least half the images are uncensored. And neither of the actual hanging images were blurred here, just the cut-downs, so I figured it was worth putting them up.
