A man between 25 and 30 years old who showed signs of torture was found hanging from a bridge in Agua Prieta, Sonora Saturday night, according to Mexican media reports.

The man had not been identified by Monday afternoon, but he was described as thin and about 5 feet 6 inches tall, according to El Diario de Sonora.

The man had been severely beaten, the office of the attorney general in Sonora says. An empty purple handbag was found around the man’s neck, Radio Xeny reported.

The investigation is ongoing.
