According to Radio Uno, the relevant procedures are being carried out by the Prosecutor’s Office and authorities to determine what happened.

The day before her death, Vanessa had participated in a photoshoot for new programs scheduled by the station, as reported by Need To Know.

These images have since been shared and are thought to be the last photos ever taken of her.

In the photos, she appears to be in high spirits and flashes a huge smile at the camera.

A Radio Uno spokesperson said: “Our colleague and former coworker, Vanessa Ochoa, better known as ‘Galena’, as she liked to be called, was found dead in her home.”
