PWInsider.com is sad to report that Lucha Libre Exotico star Pasion Kristal, 45, has passed away. It is being reported by TV Azteca in Mexico that Kristal passed away that on Tuesday 6/1, Kristal was in Acapulco for an event and drowned while swimming at a beach. Kristal's body has yet to be recovered.
Kristal debuted in 1994 and worked for AAA as part of a trios titled Los Exoticos with Pimpenella Escarlata and Cassandro. In recent years, Kristal had been a regular for IWRG in Mexico and also promoted Lucha Libre y Espectaculos del Sureste (LLES) as an independent promotion.
WWE's Franky Monet paid tribute to Kristal:

I’ve lost so many people during my 10 years in wrestling. Tomorrow is never promised. @pasionkristal and @onlymamba had called me to congratulate me right after I got signed and we were laughing our asses off as usual at each other. Ugh, this one hurts a lot.

One year we were in Tabasco on my birthday and @pasionkristal kept the venue open for all of us after the show. We danced and sang for hours. Literally HOURS! She always made everyone feel welcome and part of her family. As she would say it, she was bad bitch and loved by all pic.twitter.com/02ZVRYUGt0
