“We are deeply saddened by the tragic accident that claimed the lives of Ray Garduño and Juan Francisco González. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and those injured during this unfortunate accident,” read the streaming platform’s statement posted on Deadline on Monday.
The producer Redrum also issued a statement.
“All of us in the production of El Elegido are shocked by the tragic accident that occurred last Thursday, while traveling from Santa Rosalía, Baja California, to the local airport,” the statement read.
“We are deeply saddened by the passing of our colleagues Ray Garduño and Juan Francisco González and we closely support all those affected by this unspeakable tragedy. Redrum has been cooperating with local authorities and initial reports and witness accounts indicate that all safety protocols were in place and this was an unfortunate accident.”
Friends of Garduño and González spoke out on Sunday calling for an exhaustive investigation alleging that there were logistics and transportation problems with the production, among other accusations.
“This is a plea for justice for these deaths,” said the friend and novelist Rick Zazueta through Facebook . “This was no ordinary accident, the cast had been openly complaining about the logistics and transportation problems facing this production, calling them illogical, irrational, ignorant and stupid. The conditions of the van were totally unsuitable for transporting people; worn tires, noisy brakes, loose steering wheel, not all seat belts work, easily identifiable danger signs. But, the show must go on, and actors get wrapped up in the art form and they want to work, and they don’t have as many opportunities to work, so they take these concerts with big NETFLIX dreams and the promise of a small paycheck.” .
