Sam Botners wife says her husband was beaten to death in a Mexican jail.

Sam Botner of Yancalla, Oregon, was arrested on Aug. 27 in the resort of San Jose del Cabo and was later found dead in a jail cell. Prosecutors say a surveillance video shows officers beating Botner.

A memorial was held for Botner Saturday in Yoncalla at the Assembly of God Church.

In an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, state prosecutor Fernando Gonzalez said Botner suffered a ruptured spleen and then died of asphyxiation after internal bleeding blocked his airway.

Six police officers are under house arrest in the death.

Prosecutors have two weeks to determine whether they will bring charges in the case.
