Two professional midget wrestlers have been found dead in a low-rent hotel room in Mexico City.
La Parkita (Little Death) and Espectrito Jr -in real life brothers Alberto and Alejandro Jiménez - had been entertaining two prostitutes on the night of their death.
Police believe the women gave the pair, both 35, a fatal drugs overdose before fleeing with their belongings.
Witnesses saw two females leaving the hotel room shortly before the bodies of Espectrito Jr and La Parkita, who fought wearing a skeleton costume, were discovered by a cleaner.
She found the pair laid out on their beds.
Police are interviewing two suspects but believe the wrestlers were dosed with a lethal combination of alcohol and eye drops.
Prosecutor Miguel Angel Mancera said that gangs of female robbers are experienced at using drugs to knock men out and rob them, but they may have used too strong a dose.
That may have been because of the wrestlers' small stature, although larger men have also died in similar crimes.
The bodies were found at a hotel a short a short distance from the Arena Mexico wrestling venue.
Midget wrestlers had a huge following in the 1950s and 60s but its popularity has died out across much of the world.
However the sport still has a huge following in Mexico.
Stories like this are why I will never frequent prostitutes. Or sleep with midget wrestlers.
