(CNN) Two weeks after residents of Tlaquepaque, Mexico began complaining about a terrible smell coming from a local warehouse, they discovered the reason for the odor was a refrigerated truck with 150 unclaimed bodies inside. Local officials discovered the makeshift morgue on Friday during a routine inspection. "When we wanted to close it down we were told we couldn't by state security officials because a truck with bodies was inside," said Tlaquepaque mayor María Elena Limón. She is asking for respect for both neighbors and the victims, and said Jalisco state officials need to take the bodies. State authorities moved the refrigerated container to another municipality where neighbors and local officials again asked for it to be relocated.
