US EditionDozens of Bodies Found Inside Building in Juarez
- Authorities discovered around 60 embalmed bodies in unsanitary conditions at an unauthorized funeral facility located in the southern area of Ciudad Juarez known as Granjas Polo Gamboa on Thursday night.
- The accumulation resulted from the crematorium's furnace being unable to handle demand, and the facility lacked municipal authorization for commercial use.
- Authorities confirmed that all the deceased had been identified by family members, were certified dead from non-criminal causes, and managed in line with established procedures; however, the conditions in which the bodies were stored failed to meet health regulations and lacked proper refrigeration.
- Carlos Tar�n, head of COESPRIS, stated that embalming reduces the risk to public health, while activist Yadira Cortés expressed worries about possible unauthorized collaborations involving funeral homes and crematoriums.
- Authorities sealed the property, detained one person for questioning, launched an administrative proceeding that could revoke the license, and investigations continue amid Mexico's broader crisis of disappearances.
