MEXICO CITY — A former Miss Uruguay pageant winner has been found dead at a Mexico City hotel.

City prosecutors say a Uruguayan woman was found hanged in the bathroom of one of the hotel’s rooms early Thursday.

City officials confirmed the victim has been identified as Fatimih Davila Sosa, who won the Uruguay pageant in 2006. Since then, she has apparently worked as a model.

Officials said Thursday that she had arrived in Mexico City on April 23 for a supposed job interview.

There has not been an official ruling on the death. The prosecutor’s office says a homicide investigation is looking into the circumstances surrounding the hanging and whether the woman could have killed herself or was slain by someone.
