Police in Mexico have opened an investigation after dozens of rotting bodies were found in an abandoned crematorium near Acapulco.

The grim discovery was made after neighbours complained of a foul smell coming from the building.

Authorities say the funeral home had been boarded up for about a year.
A total of 61 corpses were found.

The state of Guerrero has been shaken by drug-related violence, including the notorious disappearance of 43 college students who were allegedly rounded up by corrupt police and handed over to a drug gang.

Officials say there are no immediate signs the bodies found at the funeral home are connected to any crime.
