Suspected Illegal Found Dead In Rio Grande

Last Update: 12:22 am



MISSION - Border Patrol agents found the body of a man floating in the Rio Grande near Anzalduas Park on Monday.

The Mission Fire Department was called in to help recover the body.

Officials believe the victim is an illegal immigrant.

Border Patrol agents say conditions in the river will continue to worsen in the river as flood waters from Mexico drain off. They are discouraging anyone from trying to cross the river illegally.

Anzalduas Park has been closed ahead of the runoff.

International Boundary and Water Commission officials say the river should crest by Wednesday evening.
