More On Hijo de Fishman’s Arrest In Relation To El Buho’s Death

A new report has more details on Hijo de Fishman after the death of referee El Buho at El Patrón Espectáculos’s show on Tuesday. As reported, Hijo de Fishman was arrested after El Buho died during the independent show in Hidalgo on Tuesday after being hit with a piledriver from Fishman.

Superluchas has additional details and some corrections to the original report. According to the outlet, Fishman gave Buho a martinete — the Spanish term for the piledriver — during the match and the referee was knocked unconsious. Piledrivers are banned in lucha libre in Mexico. The show was stopped immediately and, as previously reported, paramedics came to the ring but El Buho was pronounced dead.

Hijo de Fishman has been detained by authorities and is being investigated for homicidio culposo, a term that translates in English to negligent homicide. He has been placed at the disposal of the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Hidalgo under that charge with 48 hours to present him before a judge. The initial hearing will determine if there is enough to link him to the death, or if he should be released.

According to the penal code of the state of Hidalgo, negligent homicide carries a sentence of five to 15 years in prison if he is found guilty after a trial.

The outlet adds that the incident has brought in a heavy discussion in Mexico about the urgency of regulating Lucha Libre events in the state, as it is one of the few states without a regulatory body or commission that oversees the independent Lucha Libre scene. That includes a lack of a commission that supervises the presence of ringside medical services.
