Authorities in Mexico have discovered nearly 400 human corpses inside a building in Juárez, a city bordering El Paso, Texas, in a shocking case that has sent shockwaves across the region.
According to Mail Online on Tuesday, a total of 383 full human bodies and six sets of partial remains were found piled inside what was initially thought to be a private residence but was allegedly used as a secret crematorium.
The gruesome discovery was made last Thursday after a tip-off led security operatives to the site.
