Enrique Eduardo Guillermo Salinas de Gortari (November 15, 1952 - December 6, 2004)[1] was the third of four brothers of former president of Mexico Carlos Salinas.[2]
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.
