Location scout Carlos Muñoz Portal was found shot to death in Mexico on Monday, Sept. 11, 2017 while looking for new spots to film season four of Netflix's hit show "Narcos."
According to Business Insider, Portal's body and car were found in a violent, remote area near the border of Hidalgo state.
The region is "said to have the highest murder rate in Mexico. In July, 182 cases of homicide were reported in the densely populated state, a ratio of 12.2 for every 100,000 inhabitants.
Authorities are having trouble figuring out the circumstances behind Portal's death since the area is so secluded.
