In April 2014, María José Alvarado was crowned Miss Honduras World, she was expected to represent Honduras and was scheduled to fly to London, England for the Miss World pageant. On 19 November 2014, Alvarado and her sister Sofía Trinidad were found murdered and then buried in the village of Cablotales. Miss Honduras pageant organizers decided not to replace Alvarado; therefore, the country has officially withdrawn from the contest this year. On 23 November 2014, Miss World Organisation Chairperson Julia Morley gave a special memorial service in remembrance for her and her sister.[4][5][6]
