Upon the discovery, traces of torture became apparant.
His eyes had been covered with green tape, he was handcuffed and he was wrapped in a sheet.
There were several bullet wounds on his body, which are presumed to have been the cause of his death.
According to his relatives, a group of hitmen had entered Miguel’s home, located in the Quilá area of Sinaloa, Mexico, in the days before his death and had taken him by force.
Miguel, who is originally from Culiacán, Mexico, became famous in Sinaloa after uploading content to YouTube and TikTok.
It was on a road in Culiacán when his body was found in the morning of 23 November.
He often shared parts of his life with humour.
He also shared his close friendship with Marcos Eduardo Castro, another influencer known as Markitos Toys.
Both Marcos and Miguel have previously been linked to a criminal group in the area known as ‘Los Chapitos’.
At the end of September this year, the Office of Control of Foreign Assets (OFAC) added Miguel to its list of sanctioned people under the illicit drugs program.
It is unclear who was involved in the YouTuber’s murder.
Details have not been confirmed by the authorities.
An investigation has been launched.
Meanwhile, another content creator and close friend of Miguel, Cristo Rich, shared an emotional message on Instagram, as reported by Need To Know.
He wrote: “Brother I will love you all my life with all my heart.”
“You took a part of me with you. I know we will see each other again brother.
“I hope we will always be together like we always were just us.
“You are the best brother I could have had of that there is no doubt, always helping me.
“You were a very special person to me. No one can ever replace you.
“I will love you all my life brother and I will miss you like you have no idea, only you and I know brother.”
