A horrifying “river of blood” gushing from a manhole cover has been blamed on a funeral home at the heart of Mexico’s cocaine capital.
The undertaker – in Guasave, Sinaloa State – has been blamed for the red substance flowing down the gutter from a drain in front of the funeral parlour.
A gruesome red-tinted liquid can be seen in the street, passing under several cars.
The images are thought to have been captured on Tuesday, 17th January, with local journalist Luis Alberto Diaz saying: “Terror! Sewage with blood sprouts in Guasave; they blame the funeral company.”
The radio reporter told listeners that locals have already demanded an investigation.
He said they believe that the funeral home is responsible for the grim flood.
It was unclear at the time of writing whether the police are investigating the incident.
Sinaloa has become notorious as the home of the most violent drug cartels in Mexico.
