Othón P. Blanco, Q.R. — State Police were seen parked off the side of a Othón P. Blanco highway after someone found a dead body. The outline of a human head was seen next to highway 186 near the city of Chetumal Tuesday morning.
Police confirmed the report on a stretch of road that connects Chetumal with the town of Escárcega in the neighboring state of Campeche.
Early Tuesday morning, the caller reported seeing the motionless silhouette of a person in undergrowth. Rural State Police officers arrived to confirm the finding, noting the presence of an adult male.
The man was found laying a few meters from the highway. Authorities sectioned off the Tres Garantías junction, causing a slow-go for traffic while the body was removed.
Police did not speculate on how the body got there, nor did they provide any information on visible injuries.
