More than two weeks after his disappearance, on 30 January, his body was found in an agricultural reservoir in Ocampo, with an autopsy later revealing a head injury before drowning. Because of his work combating illegal logging, and because Raúl Hernández Romero—another activist connected to the butterfly sanctuary—was also found dead a few days later, it has been speculated that he was targeted by organized criminals.

However, it has been alleged his killing is tied to the kidnapping and arrest of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada that same day, whom alleged in a letter that he had arranged a meeting with Cuén and Sinaloa governor Rubén Rocha Moya in order to settle a power dispute before being kidnapped by Joaquín Guzmán López and flown to the United States, where they were subsequently arrested. He also alleged that Cuén was instead shot at the meeting place where the said meeting was due to occur. The investigation by the Attorney General's Office of Sinaloa has been marred by irregularities and accusations of a cover-up. Pending investigation.
