Boy, 14, found frozen to death on volcano after posting haunting last video saying ‘I'm going to freeze my a** off'
A TEENAGE boy has been found frozen to death after he attempted to climb a volcano without a guide. Paolo Sánchez Carrasco, 14, was discovered by a rescue team on Saturday just days after posting a haunting final video. 2 2 He is believed to have died of hypothermia at around 15,682ft above sea level. Before his death, he posted a selfie video to social media, saying: "Turns out it drops to minus two degrees at night up here. "And what sucks is, well, I'm gonna freeze my a** off. I didn't even bring a sleeping bag, and I'm really far from the shelter. "The next one's way over there, but it's on the other side of the mountain." A woman named Angela said she had been trekking up the same volcano at the same time as Paolo. She wrote: "Just as we were reaching the second pass, the storm hit. We had to camp beside a rock wall. "Unfortunately, we were soaked and had no choice but to take shelter in our tent - that's what stopped us from going any further." Paolo was reportedly fond of camping and heading into the mountains. He is believed to have travelled from Mexico City to Iztaccíhuatl, a dormant volcanic mountain in Mexico located on the border between the State of Mexico and Puebla within Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park, on 12 July. The journey is around 90 minutes by car and it is unclear how he got there. Iztaccíhuatl is Mexico's third-highest peak at 5,213 metres and is considered a technically challenging climb. The routes up the mountain involve loose rocks, steep slopes, and areas of ice and snow. Conditions can change rapidly - even in relatively favourable months like July - with freezing temperatures, strong winds, and sudden drops in visibility due to clouds or fog. Mountaineering experts and guides recommend climbing Iztaccíhuatl only with proper equipment, including multiple layers of thermal clothing, specialist boots, gloves, hats, navigation tools, and, in many areas, crampons and an ice axe. They also stress the importance of acclimatising to the altitude and climbing with experienced guides.

Tigres stay unbeaten at home
Tigres got off to a great start in the Apertura 2025 and confirmed their solidity as a home team at the Estadio Universitario. The felines have now gone 10 consecutive matches without a defeat at home, in both the Liga MX and the Champions Cup. Since February, the team led by Guido Pizarro has turned the Volcano into a fortress, with a balance of seven victories and three draws. Moreover, they have kept a clean sheet on three occasions. Out of the last 25 home matches, Tigres has only fallen once, reinforcing their home dominance. This week they will play as visitors against Toluca and then in the Leagues Cup, returning to the Volcano on August 8th to face Puebla.

Mafia deals & fake granny deaths: Conman's 13-year pro career
Let's get this straight: He really did it. Carlos "Kaiser" Henrique Raposo bluffed his way through professional football for 13 years without playing a single game. He never had the desire to kick the ball, but he had an (almost) endless repertoire of lies and excuses. Carlos Kaiser was forced into the world of football - or at least that's what he claims. True or false, the Brazilian doesn't let anyone see his cards. His version goes like this: At the age of ten, an official from Botafogo discovered him during a street kick. But from then on, the "jogo bonito", the beautiful game, was over. "There used to be a transfer law in Brazil. My mother sold the transfer to a businessman who demanded a very high transfer fee, and I was forced to move from club to club, even though I didn't want to," Raposo described his reluctant career start to 'SAPO Desporto'. Because the deals brought in a lot of money, his mother forcibly made him continue playing. The little Carlos therefore had to bury his dream of studying to become a sports teacher and resigned himself to his fate. True or not, it gives an idea of why he later became such an extraordinary impostor. The fact is: After a short interlude at Flamengo, the reluctant one moved to Puebla in Mexico in 1979. There he was still considered a promising talent, got his nickname "Kaiser" because he played as gracefully as the German legend. Or at least that's one version. His friend Luiz Maerovitch later claimed that the nickname was due to the Brazilian beer brand "Kaiser". That would at least fit the lifestyle of the party animal. But more on that later. The trained striker never played a game in two years far from home. But he did get his golden ticket. The professional license, with which he returned to Brazil in 1981. It is also the starting signal for his incredible intrigues to never stand on the field. 📸 Michael Kunkel - Bongarts For this, the Kaiser relied on his greatest strength, his charm. "He could talk so well - if you let him open his mouth once, it was over," even the friendly Brazilian legend Bebeto admitted. Contacts like these open many doors for Raposo - especially to nightclubs. "Every night I was out in nightclubs until the early hours of the morning - from Monday to Monday. Honestly, I was never in a condition to train or play in the morning," the night owl confessed after his "career". If he was sober in the morning, the big drawer of excuses was opened. So the cunning guy persuaded young players to knock him down. He repeatedly claimed before match days that his grandmother had died and therefore he couldn't play. He bribed sports journalists for positive headlines about him to sign up with a new club. A dentist regularly issued him certificates, which found reasons for his invented injuries. Naturally, his employers never put up with this for long. "All the teams I played for cheered twice - when I arrived and when I left," Raposo joked aptly about his career in the British 'Sun' in 2018. Part of his clever plan was also to sign short-term contracts. Only to immediately pretend to have muscular problems and then convince the club management to give him a contract until the end of the season, so he had time to get fit and show himself. In 1988, however, his clean record seemed to be getting dirty. Carlos Kaiser was employed by Bangu at the time. During a game, he was sent to warm up because he was supposed to be substituted. Instead of playing a little later, he started a wild brawl in the stands. What looked like the result of a spontaneous action was planned long in advance. Because the Kaiser knew: To have his peace in the west of Rio de Janeiro, he needed the club patron on his side. At that time, this was Castor de Andrade, a notorious mafia boss. So after the game, the shirker sought contact and claimed that the opposing fans had slandered Andrade as a crook. He successfully sold the tumults in the stands as a defense of Andrade's honor. Instead of being thrown out, the troublemaker was rewarded with double salary and a contract extension of six months. Until 1992, Raposo then bluffed his way through three more clubs. Then his facade began to crumble. Influential companions retired from football, technical progress exposed his fake injuries. At the age of 29, the Kaiser's journey through football ended. He will be unforgettable - and that without a single appearance. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Highway Robberies Are Now Just Part of Doing Business in Mexico
Late one Friday night, a truck carrying sound equipment for legendary cumbia band Los Angeles Azules was pulled over along the Mexico-Puebla highway. Police at the checkpoint were in fact bandits, and upon seeing the pricey cargo they drew their guns and drove off with the loot. The driver and another passenger were left stranded by the side of the road, unharmed except for some hearing damage from a warning shot the robbers fired. The band publicized the May 9 incident on social media and it was raised a few days later at President Claudia Sheinbaum's morning press briefing, where she called in the National Guard to investigate.
