A spokesman for the Sinaloa state prosecutors' office says the inmates' bodies were found in a trash container at the prison in Culiacan, the state capital. Spokesman Martin Gastelum said on Tuesday the prisoners apparently bled to death. "We don't know much yet, our personnel is in charge just of security and of custody but the investigation is in the hands of the Attorney General's office," said prison director, Carlos Suarez. The bodies were found on Monday. Three of the four had been arrested earlier this month following a gun battle with police, while another was on trial for rape. Another inmate also died on Monday of a drug overdose. Three other inmates have been killed in the last month at the facility, which is located in a state where some of Mexico's most powerful drug lords were born.
