Authorities have found between 20 and 25 corpses in an abandoned silver mine in southern Mexico, apparently victims of drug gang violence, police said Sunday.

Federal police commissioner Facundo Rosas said the bodies were pulled from the mine late Saturday and throughout the day Sunday after a suspect tipped authorities off to the mine, one of hundreds in the region surrounding Taxco, a colonial-era city popular with international tourists.

The remains appear to have accumulated over an undetermined time as bodies were tossed over a 300-foot (100-meter) precipice into the mine.

Rosas said the investigation into the mass grave is continuing, and he did not provide the identities of the bodies or causes of death.
