Paulett's body was found in the town of Celaya, in the state of Guanajuato. She was so badly burned that genetic testing had to be performed to establish her identity.

Although she had disappeared at the beginning of June, her body was not identified until Friday 22nd July.

Paulett was originally from Puerto Vallarta. In 2015 she had been awarded the title of Queen of Gay Beauty of the Mexican state of Nayarit .

After announcing the news, her Facebook timeline was filled with messages of condolence for family members and affectionate dedications to Paulett, whom her friends and acquaintances define as being "charismatic, simple and kind".
