In a seemingly unrelated accident in 2023, her gym was the scene of a tragic death when a barbell fell on top of a young man, allegedly due to a trainer's carelessness. Cops are now probing to see if any of these could be related to Luz's passing on Sunday, June 1. Lauz María Barrera Agatón was crowned Fitness Champion at the 2017 Mister Mexico bodybuilding contest. She also won the female bikini category at the Mr Olympia Amateur competition held in Spain and was crowned queen of the Motul Carnival in 2024. Lauz was the vice president of the Yucatecan Association of Bodybuilding and Fitness (AFFEY)and owned a gym in Merida that sponsored a Bodybuilding Tournament in Motul. AFFEY president Evangelina Cimé Mézquita took to Facebook to mourn her death and said, 'Sometimes it's impossible to understand why certain things happen. We will miss you. Your boundless joy, your simple manner. May God comfort your entire family.'
