The lifeless body of actress Pina Pellicer was found on a day like today, December 10, but in 1964...
Pina Pellicer appeared to be sleeping pleasantly that afternoon on Thursday, December 10, 1964, in her apartment in the Countess Colony, when her friend Salomón Leiter found her dead. There was a letter and a great mystery about his death. In her tiny bed, dressed in white pajamas, Pina seemed to just be resting; however, a deadly smell invaded the whole room. A forensic examiner found that Pina had passed away four days ago. When flipped over her body, the entire left side was already full of decomposing matter and worms; a strand of blood leaked from her mouth, and several parts of the body presented cyanosis. Pina lived alone in her apartment, tastefully furnished, in the building of Pachuca 131, Colonia Countesa. The building's doorkeeper claimed Pina hadn't left her apartment since Saturday, December 5. That day, Pina talked with Lonka Beker, her representative in the artistic community, by telephone, and submitted a letter addressed to Salomón Leiter, a friend of hers since she began her college theater career. In a blue leaf, Josefina Yolanda Pellicer Lopez de Llergo wrote her last lines. The text of the missive was as follows:
Dec 4, 64 Mexico.
Dear Chalo: I know you'll understand my tiredness perfectly; I don't have the strength anymore... Perhaps I would never have reached total disappointment; I believe in human beings, I believe especially in those who love me and I feel sorry for letting them down, but I can't anymore. Pina...
