-CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEXICO - JUNE 27, 2025: Authorities discovered 60 embalmed bodies inside a crematorium in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, on Friday, June 27, following residents’ complaints of foul odors emanating from the facility. The discovery has raised concerns about the proper handling and storage of human remains. Carlos Tarin, head of the Federal Committee for Protection from Sanitary Risks, ruled out an immediate public health risk due to the embalming of the corpses. However, he emphasized that the site was sealed because the bodies were not kept in appropriate conditions, such as refrigeration or proper containment. Investigators concluded that the mass accumulation of corpses was caused by the limited processing capacity of the cremation facility, which was unable to handle the volume of bodies in a timely manner. Carlos Manuel Salas, State Prosecutor for the Northern Zone of Chihuahua, said that there was no indication of criminal activity. He added that all of the bodies had been identified by family members and were accompanied by the proper documentation.
