• Guardia Nacional División Caminos and municipal police secured the scene, and forensic personnel transferred the remains to SEMEFO.
• In a separate case Friday, a decomposed body of an estimated 65–70-year-old was located in a ravine off the libre Uruapan–Lombardía road near the municipal slaughterhouse and remains unidentified.
