Grim Discovery: Hundreds of Bodies Found in Mexican Crematorium

In a grave discovery, authorities in the border city of Ciudad Juarez uncovered 383 bodies and the partial remains of six other individuals at a local crematorium. The unsettling find was prompted by an anonymous tip-off.

Cesar Jauregui, the Chihuahua state prosecutor, announced on Monday that the bodies had been deceased for an estimated three to four years. Jauregui expressed concerns, speculating about the potential ulterior motives behind the mass storage of bodies.

The crematorium, which collaborated with six funeral homes in the city, remains under scrutiny. Both the owner and an employee have been taken into custody as investigations into the mystery surrounding the bodies continue.
