The body of a dead man was found by a worker in the Los Cardos farm of Panilonco, located nearby Pichilemu, Chile on Saturday. The worker immediately contacted the Pichilemu Police, according to Radio Cooperativa.

The body was hanging from a tree, tied with wire, when it was found. According to El Mercurio OnLine, the body belongs to Timoteo del Carmen Clavijo Clavijo, who disappeared in 2000 in Las Garzas, a village that was formerly included in the Pichilemu territory.
