It is reported that Zarraga's body was found hanging with an electric cord around his neck tied to his closet in his apartment at approximately 7:30 a.m. on Thursday.

It is also reported that he left a note stating he was being treated like an animal. However, the police did not confirm that a note was found with his body.
