A photograph shows a pile of naked and bloody dead bodies: belly-up, their legs contorted and tangled together, they lie discarded on two sheets, one red and one white.
The disturbing image is not from an extermination camp in 1940s Nazi Germany – it shows the reality of a Tijuana morgue.
The image, which was taken on a cell phone and circulated on messaging service WhatsApp, is real and no more than two months old, morgue employee Nicandro (not his real name) told the newspaper El Universal. They don't give any numbers on how many of the Illegals are in the body count.
“It occurred for two reasons, the Attorney General’s office took too long to discharge the bodies [and] Semefo [the Forensic Medical Service, which operates the morgue] doesn’t have the capacity to store so many bodies,” he said.
There were 2,518 homicides in Tijuana in 2018, according to local authorities, making the northern border city Mexico’s new murder capital.
Violence in the city overwhelmed authorities to such an extent that they entered into agreements with private companies, such as funeral homes, to have them pick up bodies from crime scenes and transport them to the Tijuana morgue.
And the bodies kept coming and coming.Mexico News Daily — the latest news from Mexico
