Bodies found in abandoned crematorium in Mexico

These disturbing images show dozens of decomposing bodies found by cops when they entered a crematorium which shut a year ago. Police entered the building after neighbours complained of a bad smell and found the 'perfectly embalmed' corpses which had been prepared for cremation. The bodies were found abandoned in the crematorium in the Mexican resort of Acapulco, officials say. Corpses of men, women and children were discovered in the building, leading cops to launch an investigation into crimes including the desecration of bodies, the BBC reports.

 Officials says they believe the bodies were left to decompose after the business closed. These graphic photos show bodies wrapped in sheet on the floor of the crematorium. Lime had reportedly been used to cover the bodies in a bid to disguise the odour.
