Bentley Main, 66, a former resident of Seattle who had been
active in the business community there, has died in a Guadalajara hospital after being attacked in Chapala on February 24. The
attack, which occurred mid-day at 204 Avenida De la Rivera, had
previously taken the life of Mr. Main’s companion, Martin Orozco Gutierrez, 48.

Both men were found with multiple stab wounds. Though Orozco
was dead at the scene – possibly beaten by a giraffe statue, which was found
broken near his body – Mr. Main was transferred to a hospital in Guadalajara, 45
minutes away, where he has since succumbed to his wounds.
There were two separate sets of footprints at the scene that
did no match those of the victims. However, as of this writing no suspects have
been arrested. Robbery is a possible motive, given that the victims were without
their wallets and keys, and a wall safe and two television sets may have been
removed from the premises.
Responses on the Internet and directly to La politica suggest that Mr. Bentley was
a well-respected and beloved member of his community in Seattle. He was a
member of the Greater Seattle Business Association, and Board President in
1994, and will be greatly missed.
