There is no shortage of unusual details around El Chapo’s reign over the powerful Sinaloa Cartel.
Even after the boss was successfully captured and convicted, and is now going to spend the rest of his life behind the bars of the most secure prison facility in the US, various details have still been coming to the surface that have constantly added more and more to the already larger-than-life story.
It has been known for a while that the person in charge of the cartel’s assassination units was an enigmatic woman by the name of Claudia Ochoa Felix, 35, known as the “Empress of Los Ántrax” (Anthrax Empress).
The rumored legendary assassin was not shy about her occupation either — entirely, on the contrary, she had built an online following by posting various pictures of herself with flashy, unique weapons, as well as general glamour shots.
Her attitude earned her the nickname “the Kim Kardashian of organized crime.”
However, the reign of Felix may have come to an untimely end, as recent reports indicate that the woman has been found dead in the bed of her lover on September 14.
She was seen coming home with an unidentified man after a night of partying, and alcohol and other substances were reportedly involved.
It is not clear what led to her demise, but current reports point towards a possible drug overdose stemming from pulmonary aspiration, according to officials from the State of Sinaloa, where surprisingly, she had no criminal record.
She had always denied being a top assassin despite the fact she was often photographed with a lot of weapons around her.
The images on social media that made her famous and legendary were never authenticated, and she always insisted that it was not her, and she was not the real “Empress of Los Ántrax.”
She was romantically involved with Jose Rodrigo Arechiga, who is known as the El Chino Antrax, a man she reportedly replaced as the head of the Anthrax gang after his arrest.
The group allegedly carried hits for the Sinaloa Cartel. The controversial nature of the situation means that it will likely take some time before more details are revealed to the public.
In the meantime, it looks like many people will be missing the charismatic alleged killer, as there have been various posts on social media mourning her death.
More details will likely, including the official cause of death, be revealed in the coming weeks as the dust settles.
Felix was a mother of 3 and had proven links to various Los Ántrax and the Sinaloa Cartel criminals.
