Celeste Sánchez Romero (8 February 1990 – 21 February 2022) was a Mexican dental researcher and federal deputy from the Labor Party (PT) in the first six months of the LXV Legislature of the Mexican Congress. Prior to becoming a legislator, she was an academic researcher.

Education and research

Sánchez Romero graduated from the Universidad Juárez del Estado de Durango in 2013 with a degree in dentistry.[1] She obtained master's and doctorate degrees from the Piracicaba Dental Faculty [pt] of the State University of Campinas in Brazil.[1] She later became an adjunct faculty member of the Universidad de la República in Uruguay and had 47 scientific articles published in indexed publications.[1] In 2020, she was designated a Level I researcher in the Sistema Nacional de Investigadores.[2]

Political career

In 2021, she was elected to serve as a proportional representation federal deputy from the Labor Party out of the first electoral region (which includes Durango), taking the PT's only seat from that region.[3] She served as secretary on the Science, Technology and Innovation Commission and also sat on the Health and Youth commissions.[1] On the Health Commission, she was involved in debate over reforms to GMO labeling requirements.[4]

Personal life and death

Sánchez Romero was found dead in her Durango home on 21 February 2022, at the age of 32.[5] An autopsy revealed pulmonary aspiration to be the cause of death.[6] That Friday, she had been in Durango to participate in a forum on proposed changes to laws governing the electricity sector.[4] The Durango Attorney General's Office later announced that her death was a suicide by overdose, citing as evidence a suicide note and a syringe that had been found with her body.[7]

She was replaced by her alternate, María de Jesús Paéz Guereca, in the Chamber of Deputies.[8]
