Mexican authorities said they found 122 sea turtles dead on a beach in the southern state of Chiapas, mostly from an endangered species.
The cause of death was not immediately clear, though around 10 percent of the turtles had wounds to the head or shell and showed signs of injuries from fish hooks or fishing nets, the environment ministry said in a statement.
It said authorities had not been able to carry out autopsies "due to the advanced state of decomposition in which they were found."
