Valentina Trespalacios, 23, who had almost 16,000 followers on Instagram, was found Sunday in the blue suitcase, which had been wrapped in tape and dumped inside a trash bin near El Dorado International Airport, The City Paper Bogota reported.

The manner of death was ruled as “mechanical asphyxia,” or “strangulation,” according to the outlet.
