The bodies of two illegal border crossers were found this past weekend along Arizona's stretch of U.S.-Mexico border.
On Friday, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office received a call about a body near Patagonia in the Harshaw Road area, said Sheriff Tony Estrada. The body was located in such a remote and rugged area that deputies were unable to reach the location until Saturday, Estrada said. The body was identified as a 41-year-old man from Nogales, Sonora, he said. The cause of death is unknown
Border Patrol agents recovered skeletal remains 30 miles northeast of Sasabe on Saturday, said agency spokesman Mario Escalante. It was unclear if the deceased was a man or woman, he said.
The number of border deaths in the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector is on the rise again through the first four months of fiscal year 2010, which began in October. The Border Patrol has recovered the bodies of 57 illegal border crossers through January, up from 41 last year.
