EAST COUNTY — The bodies of two men who were found in the rural area of Dulzura in October have been identified as suspected illegal border crossers from Mexico.

The Medical Examiner’s Office identified them Saturday as Silvestre Macedo-Montes, 49, of Tijuana, and Faustino Santibanez Gonzalez, 54, of Michoacan state.

Their causes of death were found to be exposure to the elements, the medical examiner said.

Their remains were discovered Oct. 16 by a Border Patrol helicopter that was trying to locate people who had requested help in the area.
