Mexican morgues are full of infamy

More than 289,000 people have been killed, and 73,000 disappeared between 2006 and 2019 in Mexico. The publication by "Forensic Crisis" puts out a detailed report on unidentified buried bodies that can give anyone goosebumps.

Published:

"38 thousand 891 unidentified bodies have passed through one of the country's Forensic Medical Services (Semefo) between 2006 and 2019".

Thirty-eight thousand eight hundred and ninety-one.

The story published by Quinto Elemento Lab it’s truly saddening. Behind each of those 38,891 bodies, there is a family that has suffered from violence and is searching the country's fields and mountains, with the only hope of finding the last whereabouts of their loved one. Semefo has buried 27,271 non-identified bodies alone in common graves.
