On December 6, 2004 his corpse was found, with a plastic bag placed over his head, inside a Volkswagen Passat. [3] The vehicle was abandoned in the upmarket municipality of Huixquilucan, Estado de México, on the outskirts of Mexico City. The authorities (PGJEM) gave asphyxiation as the cause of death. [4]
Unlike his brothers ex-president Carlos and convicted felon Raúl, Enrique had eschewed the world of politics in favour of the business sector.
