Municipal president Carlos Barragan Amador warned that the large feline posed a risk to local residents.
In an update, he announced that the animal had been discovered lifeless among some trees.
He said: ‘Good morning, I inform you that yesterday and the day before I prayed to God so much that nobody or an animal that escaped would be hurt and today I want to inform you that yesterday late night WE FOUND IT under roots and trees.
‘Fortunately yesterday a young man who works with us yesterday saw a piece of his arm sticking out and, after removing the debris, discovered it was our tiger.’
He continued: ‘I would have liked to have captured him as planned with a group of specialists but God only knows why he does these things.’
Several Mexican regions experienced torrential rain earlier this week between Monday and Thursday.
