It’s understood the Venezuelan model had wanted the passing train to be pictured in the background of the photo shoot but accidentally stood too close to the tracks and was sucked into the train’s path as it sped by.
Emergency services were called to the scene, but Bermejo was killed instantly and paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.
“Based on the information we have so far, the victim was taking part in a photo shoot with a person we have already interviewed and some other witnesses at the scene,” Jalisco state prosecutor Joaquin Mendez Ruiz said.
“Everything indicates it was an accident.
“She got too close to the train as it was passing.
“The force apparently managed to pull her clothes towards it and that’s what caused her death.”
Her body was removed from the train tracks before being released to her family for burial.
An investigation into the woman’s death is ongoing.
