A Sunday league soccer match in Mexico was brought to an abrupt halt after a player stumbled upon a corpse in a septic tank while retrieving a wayward ball.

Firefighters were summoned to the area of El Ocote, 58 miles from Mexico City where the body, said to be of a 22-year-old woman, was disposed of just hours after she reportedly went out for a night of dancing in the community of San Pedro de la Hortaliza and went missing, according to El Grafico.

In turn, a murder investigation is now underway after the victim, identified as Leticia Jesus Doroteo, was uncovered.
