According to a story from the Mexican news source Tribuna De La Bahia, Baroni and his girlfriend got into a fight at a hotel in the town of San Pancho when both of them were under the influence of narcotics and alcohol.

Following her admission that she was cold, the report adds that Baroni assisted his partner in getting back onto the bed. After leaving the room to acquire beer and cigars, as his lover apparently requested, Baroni returned to find his partner had passed out. After that, Baroni attempted to revive the victim, but she passed away due to her wounds.
