Security measures around Paradise Hotel in Mexico as filming paused after cartel violence

Violence has erupted in Jalisco, Mexico, after a powerful cartel leader was shot dead. Filming for "Paradise Hotel" is underway in the state, and Viaplay is now taking security measures.

TV4 reports that filming has been paused due to the unrest. Viaplay's press manager Susanne Nylén declined to comment on the information.

What I can say is that the filming location is not at risk; however, we have taken certain safety measures as a precaution, she told TV4.

It was on Sunday that Mexican drug lord Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho", was shot dead in a military operation.

Oseguera Cervantes was the leader of the powerful Jalisco cartel, which responded to the operation by blocking roads with burning vehicles in hundreds of locations.
