Joaquin Galicia Obituary
Son Juan Manuel Hernandez Correa says his father died after several days in a hospital in the northern city of Tampico for stomach problems.
Hernandez Galicia spent nearly nine years in prison after troops stormed his home and arrested him on manslaughter and weapons charges in 1989 in what the government described as a crackdown on corruption.
Hernandez was an old-style labor leader who became one of Mexico's most powerful and wealthiest men through patronage and strong-arm tactics.
But he ran afoul of newly elected President Carlos Salinas de Gortari. Hernandez Galicia's arrest was seen as bolstering the new president's power, but Amnesty International considered him a political prisoner.

My deepest sorrow and tears to the family of the deceased. May these words bring you hope and consolation: "...Hear the promise God has made: He will call; the dead will answer. They shall live at his command. For he has a longing for the work of his own hand..." See John 14: 13-15, John 6: 40; 11: 11, 43; Jas. 4: 14
