Lynching, Extralegal Justice, and the State in Post-Revolutionary Mexico (University of California Press, 2020, p. 93), the Norwegian geologist Edgar Kullmann was lynched after speaking to local children. He was accused of wanting to use their body fat as fuel for his airplane, a common rumor in 1930 rural Mexico.
