Nacho Vidal can turn the page. The investigating judge 2 of Xàtiva has filed the open case for homicide against the porn actor for the death of the photographer José Luís Abad during the practice of the ritual of the bufo toad, in July 2019. This is established by the court order that he has had La Vanguardia access. Ignacio Jordà, real name of Nacho Vidal, was being investigated for the crime of reckless homicide for having provided the victim, during the celebration of a shamanic rite, toad venom, one of the most powerful hallucinogenic substances in existence.

After almost four years of investigation, the judge has exempted the porn actor from any responsibility for the photographer's death, considering that it was the victim who "put himself in danger" and therefore is the one who must assume responsibility for his actions "It confirms that it was Mr. Abad who was interested in voluntarily submitting to the ceremony at hand and that he attended it having previously consumed cocaine”, the judge stated in her resolution. The magistrate has assumed the thesis of Vidal's defense attorney, Daniel Salvador, who had always maintained that it had been the victim who had decided to voluntarily participate in the ritual, and therefore, who had put herself in danger.

The events occurred on July 28, 2019 in the home that the porn actor has in the municipality of Enguera, in the Valencian community. It was Vidal's cousin who organized the meeting for José Luís Abad to detoxify himself from drugs. The session was to last between 15 and 20 minutes and the victim smoked bufantoin in a pipe, one of the most powerful natural hallucinogenic substances that exist, until she began to convulse and lost consciousness. On March 31, the forensic doctor confirmed before the court what she had already said in reports issued in September 2020 and October 2021.

He explained that "without a doubt, there was an adverse reaction to both substances, finding traces of cocaine in the analyzes of the deceased, indicating that he had his own use of said substance between 1 and 4 days before death and the same day it was taken." produced”. In addition, he pointed out that "the substances taken by the deceased are configured as alkaloid substances, which increase cardiovascular effects, - thus blood pressure, heart rate and arrhythmias", compromising "blood flow, not dilating the coronary artery and not producing proper muscle blood supply.

Nacho Vidal, an employee and his cousin were detained by the Civil Guard after receiving the complaint from the family of the deceased so that an investigation could be opened. They were released after giving a statement. In an interview in 'Lo de Évole', the porn actor burst into tears when he remembered the case. “It was brutal, too strong. And I kind of give it up because I'm very resilient, but every time I remember being there alone with him... it was very hard to see that person is leaving in your hands. I was left with a trauma because if I had told my cousin that he wouldn't still be alive."
