He then said that while he was home he saw a woman's ghost and run to the streets to ask for help. Another scandal Kukin starred was when he felt down 4 stories from his apartment window. According to witnesses, he tried to enter through the window after he forgot his keys. Flores was also known for the use of recreational drugs, more precisely cocaine. During the previously mentioned interview in Beto Ortiz's TV show ‘El Valor de la Verdad’, he revealed that he used cocaine while being a soccer player. When asked about how he hid his drug using (professional soccer players are randomly tested for drug use after games), he said that he had a way to beat the test. However, he said he was not going to reveal his trick in order not to foment the use of drugs in kids and athletes. On 8 January 2009 it was reported that Flores claimed he was being chased by ghosts. He eventually admitted that he had been "engaging with dirty ladies" and that he manufactured the ghost story to try to hide the truth from his wife. On February 17, 2019, Flores died from a heart attack and his body was found on his apartment at San Miguel, a district in Lima. He was 44. Hours after his death, a photo went viral that showed Flores lying on the floor dead, with a mysterious package, which was thought to be cocaine by his side. Police reports after the incident showed that Flores was in a paranoia attack and wanted to commit suicide, because he thought he was being followed and that somebody wanted him dead. This report was signed by Liz Contreras, who was the soccer player's girlfriend at the time of his death and the only witness. After a couple of days, Contreras was interviewed by Reporte Semanal, a TV show from Latina Televisión, explaining that she signed the police report because she was on a state of shock after his boyfriend's death and giving her side of the story. During the interview, she said that Flores first suffered a seizure and woke up moments later, not being able to remember details like her name. It is important to mention that they had already been dating for more than three years. More importantly, she said that what was thought to be cocaine was in fact a blister of pills she was taking for some reason she did not mention. As the cause of Flores's death is still not clear, prosecutor Claudia Gutiérrez Aragón started an investigation.
