Mexican prosecutors have obtained an arrest warrant for the friend of a North Carolina woman found dead last month while on vacation in Cabo San Lucas and on Thursday called the death the result of "a direct attack."
Evidence shows the death resulted from "a direct attack, not an accident," and involved one of the victim's female friends, the prosecutors said. The death did not result from a "quarrel" but from "a direct aggression that this person made," de la Rosa said. The cause of death was "severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation," which is instability or excessive movement in the uppermost neck vertebrae, states a copy of her death certificate obtained by CNN affiliate WBTV. She was found unconscious in the living room of the rental residence on October 29, the document states.
