GUADALAJARA, Mexico: A state government in Mexico has fired a prosecutor over a spectacle in which a fetid-smelling tractor trailer carrying 273 bodies was driven around aimlessly for lack of room in the morgue. The bodies were in the refrigerated truck because the morgue in Mexico’s second-largest city was full. The authorities then moved the truck to an empty lot in another poor neighborhood far from the city center, until residents there protested Saturday. Officials then moved it to a prosecution storage facility in the city center, where it remains parked for now. Aristoteles Sandoval of Jalisco state said he fired prosecutor Raul Sanchez over the drama in Guadalajara.
