EFE Update: The 60 bodies discovered at a shuttered crematorium in the resort city of Acapulco were apparently left behind by the management when the business failed, authorities in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero said Friday.

A total of 61 bodies have been found at an abandoned crematorium in Acapulco, in the Mexican state of Guerrero, where in September last year 43 students went missing, officials from the public prosecutor`s office reported Friday.

The discovery was made after residents from the neighboring areas called the authorities, who reached the crematorium and recovered the human remains in forensic vehicles, as confirmed by Spanish news agency Efe.

According to the sources, the foul smell from the bodies caught the attention of nearby residents who alerted the authorities Thursday.

Apparently, the crematorium, the Cremaciones El Pacifico, had been abandoned about a year ago.

Personnel from the federal and state police as well as the government reached the spot and cordoned off the area.

By early Friday, all the bodies had been removed on stretchers and taken to the local forensic institute after covering them with white sheets.
