At approximately 5:30 a.m. Monday Border Patrol Agents found the body of a woman lying on the side of the road about 60 miles southwest of Tucson near Sells, Arizona.

Agents found the woman's ID and report the woman was 18 years old from Guerrero, Mexico.

Sunday morning, an illegal immigrant flagged down agents south west of Rio Rico to get aide for his sick brother.

Agents found the man unconscious and by the time they got the man ready to air lift him to the hospital, he had died.

The Border Patrol has found 13 bodies in the desert so far this month in the Tucson sector. Saturday Border Patrol Agents rescued at least 28 people who used a cell phone to call for help, according to reports.

Authorities report, the crossers were dehydrated about 60 miles southeast of Tucson.

Twenty-eight of the immigrants have been deported.
