It doesn’t appear as though Yeudi Estrada Carrero was not much of a fitness instructor since he had consumed marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine at the time of his arrest. I would think that the combination made it very difficult to place him in custody and the officer pressing his foot against his throat may have felt it was the only way to restrain him. I don’t have any respect for Mexican cops but, under the circumstances in this case, they may not have resorted to the use of excessive force.
SIX MEXICAN COPS ARRESTED AFTER NEW YORK FITNESS INSTRUCTOR ‘SUFFOCATED TO DEATH AS THEY STOOD ON HIS THROAT’ IN CANCUN

Mexican authorities say they have detained six police officers over the death of a U.S. man, who died in their custody after being arrested for disorderly conduct in the resort city of Playa del Carmen.
Quintana Roo state Assistant Attorney General Carlos Alvarez said Friday that Yeudi Estrada Carrero died Wednesday inside a patrol truck while three police officers restrained him.
Alvarez says the 28-year-old fitness instructor died of asphyxiation after at least one of the officers pressed his foot against Estrada's neck.
Alvarez says Estrada was from New York state and lived and worked in Cancun.
He says an autopsy found Estrada had consumed cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine.
Alvarez says Estrada's body was turned over to his father, who also lives in Cancun.
An investigation is underway.

It seems you have no knowledge about what you are talking about. This man was murdered by the police. It was a hit put on him. The police messed up by not knowing he was an American citizen therefore causing these negative reports to surface from the police as they try to cover their ass. The body was transported to the states where an autopsy reviled there was no cocaine or meth-amphetamines in his system. I live in Playa for six years now and have had multiple run-ins with this gang called the Policia Municipal. They will pay for this! I guarantee it! Wish i was the one to repay them but im sure the 2 local cartels will take care of it for me. Seeing as how much money these dumb-asses cost the local economy by committing this cowardly act.
Yeudi was my childhood best friend.He is definitely missed but not forgotten.We grew up together in New York.I hope justice is served.One way or another.
