TUCSON - U.S. Border Patrol agents say the body of another illegal immigrant has been found along Arizona's U.S.-Mexico border, marking the third such discovery in three days.

Authorities could not immediately determine how the victims died but say dehydration was suspected.


Agents following the tracks of a group of illegal immigrants came across the body of an adult man on Monday morning northwest of Patagonia. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department recovered the body.

On Saturday, agents found a body near Arivaca and Pima County Sheriff's deputies recovered the body. The Border Patrol did not know if it was a man or woman.

Also on Saturday, agents found a dead man upon arriving to the location of a signal fire near the village of Pia Oik on the western side of the Tohono O'odham Nation.
