ATTENTION EDITORS - VISUALS COVERAGE OF SCENES OF DEATH AND INJURY
Doctor Luis Mendoza Canseco gives a lecture on forensic medicine as unclaimed, unidentified bodies lie piled on top of each other behind him at the morgue in Oaxaca November 8, 2006. Dozens of corpses of people who died in robberies, road accidents and other mishaps have piled up at the city's morgue, built and unmodified since 1943, after law enforcement broke down during the months of social strife in the state. Normally after lying unclaimed for a while, the bodies would be sent to a common grave or to the university medical school, but since the state bureaucracy has been inoperative for months the bodies have just piled up.
