Pablo Santos (January 9, 1987 – September 15, 2006) was a Mexican actor.
Santos was born in Monterrey, Nuevo León in Mexico. At the age of 12, he moved with his family to Los Angeles. He began an acting career, and starred as the son of a Mexican-American family portrayed in Greetings from Tucson, which ran on the WB network from 2002 to 2003.
After the series ended, he appeared in the 2004 film Party Animalz. He also appeared in television shows such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Boston Public. He was member of the Church of Scientology.[1]
On September 15, 2006, Santos died in a plane crash just short of the runway at the Toluca airport, near Mexico City. He was heading from his native Monterrey to Acapulco, to celebrate the Mexican Independence Day with six friends in a private light plane, a Piper Malibu Mirage PA 46, which crashed while attempting an emergency landing in Toluca. Another passenger was also killed, and the others on board were hospitalized.
Officials are still investigating the cause of the accident, but suspect the plane crashed because it was overloaded. The Piper Malibu craft was designed to carry only six people, but the group persuaded the pilot to take on an extra passenger.
