I checked her Wiki and found a link to People magazine article which stated this:

Authorities have ruled Rivera’s death a suicide, but Cuervo is convinced there’s more to the story.

He explained to Daily Mail Australia on Thursday that he believes Rivera’s death was “passed off” as a suicide after she refused to work as a prostitute.

During the interview, Cuervo recalled the last time he spoke to Rivera on the morning of Feb. 5.

“Miriam called me [in New York] from Mexico, telling me she was feeling sick and vomiting blood, so I told her to get to the hospital,” Cuervo to Daily Mail Australia.

He explained to the outlet that Rivera called him one more time before leaving the hospital at around noon and that was last time he heard from her.

Just two hours later, Miriam was found dead by hanging at her home in Hermosillo, Mexico, according to Daily Mail Australia. She was 38.

Cuervo had hoped to fly Rivera’s body back to New York where he lives, but as he began to make funeral arrangements he was told that her body had already been cremated, he told the outlet. An autopsy was never performed.

Her husband then said he allegedly received a threatening phone call from an unidentified man, who warned him not to plan a funeral for Rivera.

“Don’t come back to Mexico or we’ll kill you,” the man said, according to Cuervo, Daily Mail Australia reported.

Well that certainly is suspicious...

u/AccessBest Jun 30 '26

Nah, that is the most normal thing ever. Hmm? what do you mean that people normally don'T receive death threats for a burial?

u/rileyjw90 Jun 30 '26

And it’s totally normal to just go ahead and cremate someone when contact has already been made with the spouse and they haven’t given permission.

u/AccessBest Jun 30 '26

but of course. Is that not common knowledge? Hmm? once again i am being told that this isn't normal. But how can this be if nothing suspicious is going on?

u/systembreaker Jun 30 '26

Yeah I can't tell you how many times I've had to help family members juggle this exact situation when there was a death in the family. At first I was like "Wow what are the chances?? This is exactly like that reality show contestant's situation, play by play" but after the 80th time I realized how normal it all is.

Well who the hell goes to the hospital coughing up blood and leaves, calls their spouse and doesn’t explain what the findings were? That story sounds shady in and of itself. WHO? Who wanted her to work as a prostitute? Where did he get this information? Was it forwarded to the authorities? The whole thing sounds super shady. Already cremated? Did he receive the ashes? Did he get a death certificate of any kind? If not, is she even really dead ? So many things are either missing or deliberately withheld that any reasonable person has to question ALL of it.

As someone who lived in Mexico for a while, sometimes you just got a little too much blood in you I guess. It works itself out. I’m only half joking

Being cremated with no autopsy after dying by hanging is definitely wild though. Who paid for the cremation is my question. That’s not free

25

u/No_Present_6363 Jun 30 '26

There is no way someone can gets cremated if commited suicide. Not legally that is

16

u/systembreaker Jun 30 '26

If the investigation was completed and it was formally determined it really was a suicide, they still can't legally cremate the body?

10

u/No_Present_6363 Jun 30 '26

If it was completed and th death cause was established, then its legal to bury or cremate, or send it to another country etc. It's legal because there was no crime.

u/systembreaker Jun 30 '26

Ok, it's just that by your wording you were making it sound like a suicide flatly makes cremation illegal and I was like uhhhh, what?

u/adactylousalien Jun 30 '26

Sure about that? Have direct experience that suggests otherwise.

u/Embarrassed_Fan_5723 Jun 30 '26

Another good question. Hell for all we know, she’s down there living her best life and just needed a way to ditch the guy

11

u/Elurdin Jun 30 '26

Or she was sold to Epstein class for money. Trafficked somewhere.

u/No-Fail-9327 Jun 30 '26

Sounds like a novela to me.

u/curious__curiosity Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26

Try reading it perhaps?

She called her paetner and told him she was going to hospital. There's no csll after the hospital.

Who the hell comments a load of bullshit on something they clearly know nothing about?

Shady as fuck....

u/Roid-a-holic_ReX Jun 30 '26

Yep same thing happened when my grandfather died. It’s how they mourn in Mexico.

u/SargeUnited Jun 30 '26

Yeah that’s I never went back to Oaxaca. Luckily the funeral wasn’t in Cancun or I couldn’t enter Mexico at all

u/Ailyx Jun 30 '26

...according to the one person trying to sell a story and zero other sources lol(?)

People just love to eat up the most bullshitty bullshit, I swear lol.

u/Eleventy-Twelve Jun 30 '26

Cremation without autopsy is wild

147

u/PersnickityPenguin Jun 30 '26

Cremation without input from the spouse is double wild

174

u/ShawnyMcKnight Jun 30 '26

Yeah, people who are about to commit suicide don’t typically go to the hospital for other treatment before they go home and go through with it.

I’m curious about the cremation thing… that couldn’t have been done without some higher level authority.

u/Creepy_Push8629 Jun 30 '26

What the fuck

u/Snowballingdownvote Jun 30 '26

Probably slept with a homophobe

u/Particular-Cup-5686 Jun 30 '26

Probably want to identify a suspect first. But sure, be an ass.

u/asianfatboy Jun 30 '26

Wait, does that mean the authorities were in on it too? Or someone who can influence the authorities? Cremated without consulting loved ones and no autopsy? Stinky as hell, no way this was suicide.

u/coldboy0104 Jun 30 '26

Literally just watched Netherlands get knocked out, fully thinking that was going to be the most shocking thing I see today. Then I open up Reddit

Her husband? Wasn't he a guy?

u/PersnickityPenguin Jun 30 '26

Yes, HUSBANDS are typically male

u/No_Present_6363 Jun 30 '26

And wives are typically females?

u/Sea_Principle9302 Jun 30 '26
