Mexican environmental creator Alex Serna found dead after disappearance

Alex Serna, a Mexican environmental influencer and citizen journalist, has been found dead after disappearing on June 20. The Human Rights Commission of the State of Guerrero has confirmed his death and urged authorities to investigate the killing properly.

Serna had used social platforms to report on environmental damage, land disputes, construction projects and alleged corruption in Guerrero’s Costa Grande region. His disappearance came on the same day he posted allegations against a mango dehydration company, including claims about permits, water use and environmental harm; those claims have not been confirmed by authorities.

Reports cited in the source say a body later identified by relatives as Serna was recovered near the Acapulco–Zihuatanejo federal highway and taken to forensic officials in Zihuatanejo. Local outlets also reported signs of torture, but officials have not publicly confirmed a cause of death or identified suspects.

Because the available file relies on a single source and includes serious unconfirmed allegations, this draft should remain pending editorial review. The central public-interest issue is the safety of local reporters and creators who document environmental disputes, especially when threats are alleged before violence occurs.
