TORONTO — The body of an aspiring actress was found in a Mexico City water tank after residents complained of bad tasting water.

City health officials found the body of Carmen Yarira Esparza Noriega when they were dispatched to check on a residential water tank, FOX News Latino reported.

The 27-year-old had been missing since February. She was last seen leaving a fitness studio.

According to the Daily Mail, police fear Esparza’s decomposed body may have been in the water supply tank since she first disappeared.

“City officials were called to the tank and when they opened it up they found the body in a high state of putrefaction,” police reportedly said.
