Díaz died in Acapulco at the age of 35, after diving in the waters of the bay trying to rescue the bodies of Joseph Arthur Mitchel and Edith Hallock, two elder American tourists who were victimized by the Texan Rudy Fenton Cavalzono and the boatman Daniel Ríos Ozuna days before in the bay of Acapulco and whose approximate depth is 200 feet (61 meters). In the last search Castillo floated but suffered a decompression accident and three days later he was taken to the hyperbaric chamber of the Naval Base, where on March 11, 1957, Díaz died.[citation needed]
