#abandoned #crematorium #mexico #acapulco #guerrero Mexico is gradually earning for itself the nickname of the ‘City of the Dead bodies’. It has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 6 February 2015 that a total of 61 bodies have been discovered in an abandoned crematorium in Acapulco, in the Mexican state of Guerrero.
It was in the same location from where students had gone missing last year.
The dead bodies came to light after people from the neighboring areas called the authorities who discovered the human remains. Forensic experts are investigating as confirmed by Spanish news agency Efe. All the bodies have been shifted and taken to the local forensic institute.
From preliminary reports it has emerged that one of the bodies belonged to that of a minor and that none of them had been mutilated. All the bodies were covered in lime to prevent stench and none of them had been burned.
It seems the foul smell of decomposing bodies resulted in the shocking discovery. The crematorium, the Cremaciones El Pacifico, had been abandoned about a year ago.
Incidentally, Acapulco is located 200-Km from Iguala, where 43 students from a teachers college had gone missing after they were rounded up by corrupt local police who then handed them over to a crime cartel. The students were subsequently murdered and their bodies were burned at a landfill site in neighboring Cocula.
