Awhile ago I blogged about the curious case of Heath Ledger, whose career is hotter than ever months after his death. Now comes the story of Sergio Gomez, formerly lead singer of the band K-Paz de La Sierra until his violent death five months ago after a concert in Mexico. As the Chicago Tribune reported April 21, “Gomez’s murder has elevated him to an icon from Chicago to his hometown in the hills of Michoacan state. Like other doomed celebrities, a mythology has formed around Gomez since his death.”
