Juan Escobar, son of notorious Colombian drug trafficker Pablo Escobar, said the true story of his father's death has been hushed up. Colombian National Police claimed they shot Escobar dead after using radio triangulation technology to pin point his location as depicted in the hit show 'Narcos.' However, Juan dismissed the role of the Colombian authorities, the Americans, and even the mafia in the role of Pablo Escobar's death, instead calling it a suicide.
