Bruce Beresford, the producer of "Pimp My Ride" and formerly of "Survivor" was released from Mexican custody early Friday, but remains under investigation after his wife Monica 's body was found in the sewer of a swanky Cancun resort, a state official said. Bruce Beresford must remain in Mexico after being released just past midnight Friday, Quintana Roo state investigator Veronica Acacio said."He won't be able to leave the country until we conclude our investigation into what caused her death," Acacio said.
Police detained the 38-year-old producer as a suspect Thursday after finding the body of Monica Beresford in a sewer at Cancun's Moon Palace resort, where the family was on vacation.
Her body had scratches on the neck, signs of asphyxiation and a heavy blow to the right temple, said Francisco Alor, the attorney general for Quintana Roo state, where Cancun is located.
Her husband had scratches on his face and arms, he said, and several guests heard an argument in the couple's room Monday night. Bruce Beresford told a hotel employee sent to check that they were fighting over their two children, according to Alor.
"He's the initial focus of the investigation based on their alleged turbulent relationship," Alor said by phone from the state capital of Chetumal.
Bruce Beresford worked for reality TV giant Mark Burnett, who produces "Survivor" and is currently producing Sarah Palin's eight-part series about her home state of Alaska.
