In a western incident, a body was found in a state of decomposition inside the trunk of a car parked near the stadium where the Iranian national team is training during the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Tijuana, northwest of Mexico.

The body was discovered in the parking lot of a store opposite the Caliente Stadium, where the Iranian national team has been heading every day since its arrival last Sunday, and a one-minute drive from the hotel where it was staying.

The police opened the car, which was a gray Toyota four-wheel drive car, which resulted in the emission of a strong unpleasant odor.

Specialists wearing white uniforms worked around the car to examine the body before transporting it from the place.

The Tijuana Public Prosecutor’s Office later explained, in a statement to Agence France-Presse, that a surveillance patrol was the one who found the body.

A preliminary report stated: “When searching the car, the patrol noticed that there was a person in the back of the trunk, wrapped in a black bag, with signs of violence on him.”

According to a prosecution spokesman, the suspect car had been parked at the location since last Wednesday. (AFP)
