Entrant dies near Arivaca
ARIZONA DAILY STAR
A Mexican woman died Thursday night while crossing the desert near Arivaca after she and two relatives were left behind by a smuggler.
U.S. Border Patrol agents found the 55-year-old illegal entrant after a relative flagged them down about 6:45 p.m. near Tres Bellotas Ranch, said Jesus Rodriguez, a spokesman for the agency's Tucson Sector.
She was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
The man and another female relative told agents that they were part of a larger group that had crossed the border illegally.
At some point the woman fell ill, Rodriguez said. The family members slowed down to help her, and all three were left behind by the smugglers.
There were no signs of foul play, and the investigation was taken over by the Pima County Sheriff's Department, Rodriguez said.
